After getting bored of this https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tbi/...ir-intake.html I wanted a more classic TBI look.

Its made of a JY LO3 firebird/camaro housing, a taller TBI truck lid, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G3000B/?rtype=10 cleaner base and fiberglass.

Someday I will get this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SPE-9751/?rtype=10 to replace the improvised aluminium duct hose.

 

And of course it has the taller filter used in TBI trucks. (it has slightly more filtering surface then a 14x3")

 

that looks sweet! looks like alot of fiberlass work. is that part coming off the cleaner base made of fiberglass too? how did you go about making the mold? looks like a very good fabrication. any in process pics?

 

Yes fiberglass. I sculpted the mold in "sagex" and brocke it out once covered with fiberglass.

No time for progress pics unfortunately.

 

Not my gig but I totally respect the fabrication of it. thought of making one in a non drop base?

 

that is cool man good job. im going to be doing a air cleaner design using my cowl hood as point of entry. but i have a couple other projects going on the car right now so that'll have to wait

 

Not really, I whanted the bowl shape towards the TB for effective air charge/flow.

Most bowl shaped ones, still go straight down the last 1/2 in, basically the same as the summitracing flat base center I used. I would probably replace it with a perfect bowl if I find one.

 

Nice work. Looks like a factory made part!

 

Really looks nice.......

 

cuddos that looks good but i still like your first version. it would be cool to have a functional ta hood.

 

It is working great too https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/atta...sb-360-tbi-2-3
