Paul,  please cast a critical eye on this proposal.   It is my new
intake.  Material will be 6061.  A couple of points.  The 2.5 width
of the plenum is such to maintain a proper distance from the injector
to the bell mouth.  The plenum is 2.75 inches high  which allows room
for the bell mouths and still fits under the cowl. The air filter is
a K & N and is massive. I hope to move a lot of air through it
without much of a pressure drop.  The filter is external and will
breath from under the cowl for the time being.  Eventually, if
necessary, an air box and ram air can be added.  This plenum requires
the alternator be relocated .

The first version which is the basis for this design was made out of
steel.  I leaned a lot making it. Pictures of it were posted before
so I won't send more now.


Mark may be able to do something similar except he has one advantage
in that the plenum width is not determined by injector location.
Another advantage is that the alternator can be left where it is.
He could put the filter on the outside of the plenum right in front
of the  right nostril. Make a big plenum and put a big filter on
it.       .

Jerry

The volume  of the filter must be comparable to a K&N filter used
on a production car of about the same HP or more. A Corvette filter
would be a good choice.
