I currently have a homemade air box that seals up to the L88 hood rear opening. The concept works (efficiency = ?), and with some string lengths hanging down over the hood rear opening I can see the strings being pushed inward at speeds above about 15 mph. I'd sure like to do some efficiency comparisons of that versus getting the air from in front/above the radiator, but damn, with the shape of the hood (particularly the dip/valley in the front portion of the scoop), and what looks like the fan being positioned higher in the car versus a small block position, I'm striking out trying to route a clean looking (and decent size) hose/tube to the carb airbox. Anybody ever run a CAI hose in a BB? I'd like to do some box interior pressure measurements, with just the present box, and then with the extra hose inlet (with perhaps a reed valve setup in the box rear to seal off the windshield area source in the event that the front hose setup supplies more air than the rear.
Longer story than I planned. Anybody have any thoughts on running a front air source in a big block?
Thanks,
Mike
