 Hi Dan,
 
 I did this to my 1979 Spit back in 2000. I fabricated (there's that "F" word 
again) a "proof of concept" air box. Between the air box and the filter, I use 
a rubber hose I found at the hangar, strengthened internally with tin cans 
(Hormel chili cans work well). Hey, I said it was proof of concept! Not sure if 
it develops any additional power, but it looks cool. I have pictures on my web 
site.

Has any ever tried to fit a cold air intake and filter kit to a Weber DGV in

a 1500 Spit?  I wondered if a cold air snorkel with a K&N filter in front of

the radiator to the top of the Weber could get more HP than the Longflow

filter that I have now.  It appears that I only have two inches of clearance

above the Weber, which doesn't allow a lot of room for any K&N plenum

adapter.



Does anyone out there make a wide, flat air plenum to fit the top of the

Weber with a snorkel to the front of the radiator?
