Intake stuff.... One of the worries about the current set up is it could take water in - this should solve it, might even help since there is more space for the air to turn into the motor
Just what I did on the Volvo. In fact, the blower hat looks like the same piece.
One thing I don't like about my color combo of Dakota Digital dash is it's nearly impossible to read at speed... to time for a linear display with warning light
it's a good spot, no water gets there, it's in line of sight, and it's really easy to wire.
time to construct the cold air intake
things are so screwy, it's cheaper to use 304 4" stainless tube, mirror finish then it is to use aluminum
lay out
finished
and check for clearance
another issue - I need to seal the radiator to the core support... done
in other news, I fixed the e-brake and I correctly wired the speedo. Tomorrow (hopefully) I can go do a loop with it and my '40 to set the speedometer.... it's funny, it's the little things that are most useful...

I'm considering PF3. Still in planning stages but here's some general outlines
Full custom chassis using the c5/6 front and ZL1 Camaro rear.
68 Convertible body. 3"/4" flares (probably my own design - one that actually considers aero and integrated brake ducts for the rear)
Also, we know that the convertibles with a hard top were the race cars - so it'll have a hardtop but no soft top (saves weight).
632 ci motor (and this is a big maybe because that's one, tall beast)
6 speed
With that said, using the 632 heads on a standard height block then a shorter stroke.... the GM motor retails for 37k and is 30k out the door.... that's a lot of money.
and PF2 is going nowhere but quickly around local (and national) racetracks.
I've complained before that people take my ideas without even a thank you. That's fine, I like they did, now I can take their updates to my design and help a few around here save some dollars
C5 motors and controllers
they put the motor on the opposite side - which created its own issue of having to build back the part I cut out
tomorrow, wiring - my car's alternator is on the opposite side as stock - but even so the wiring needs quite a bit of mods. Shop was 26* tonight so I figure I can get more proactive heating tomorrow and perhaps have feeling in my fingers while I wire.
