Ram Jet setup
Ram Jet setup
Not exactly sure if this is the right place to post this question.
This summer, or possible the next (depending on financial situations) I am doing an engine swap, and right now doing research. I drive an '88 Camaro, and it came with a 2.8L v6, which is a really small engine. Anyway, i am going to put a new crate Ram Jet 350 into it (http://www.rebuiltcarengines.com/ce11.html just a reference, not where i am going to buy it from). I also plan on putting a Ram Air hood on my camaro (as seen here http://www.gtfiberglass.com/ again, probably not where i will buy it, just a reference).
Here is my question: does anybody here know where i can find a ram air intake to use the functional hood scoop for that type of hood? I have found this: http://marylandspeed.com/product_inf...roducts_id=597 but not sure if it will work. I guess what i am trying to find is a filter box for the ram air hood shown above, but i cannot find one. Any help would be appreciated.

I haven't looked at the Ram Jet crate for awhile. They've gone up in price, but SDPC sells them for about $900 less than that.

I have found you don't have to have a different hood with the Ramjet. You can modify the stock flat hood by trimming the crossbrace above the throttle body. I put the RJ350 in a 89 Firebird and had to trim a piece the size of a baseball card and got enough clearance.
If you are going to change the hood the air box from Ramairhood.com should work and be functional.

I used the pan for my 89 since the RJ350 is a 1 piece rear main. It also comes with a windage tray mounted on main bearing bolts that will need to change also.
