I have a carbureted lg4 (for now), and I have an idea for a simple Cold Air Intake. Couldn't you just cut a 4" hole in the firewall, and run a short length of 4" tubing to a carb hat or regular air cleaner base? This would be simple and not clutter the engine bay too much.

I welcome any thoughts, opinions, or pics!

 

Where are you going to find 4" to cut a hole, and how are you going to get air into it through the dash?

 

Hmm... I may be a little ignorant on the subject, but my understanding was that the cowl vents would route cold air in. Obviously, I haven't gotten beyond the brainstorming phase here...

 

Could relocate the evap canister and run it through there, in the front corner of the car. Down through and in front of the fender well.

 

he means the open area under the wiper arms. yes it would work but it seems like you would hack the car just for a couple HP? good idea in thought but I just would shy away from it

 

Yeah, I did mean the open area under the wiper arms. It seems like it would be a pretty clean install without running a tube all the way to the front of the car. I had cosidered running it through the front where the evap canister is, but just trying for something cleaner.

Thanks for the input!

 

Thats the duct for A/C and heat right? I think it would be cool. Just make sure its routed so that no water is getting funneled in I guess.

 

you can also get the carb tophat fron a mopar or gm truck w/ a tbi style system from any junkyard
