Suggestion for the intake- Hamster "Habitrail". I bet those little suckers would live climbing around through the intake ports!

Do you think the 624 heads would function equally if not better than the 882s for a ballast weight. I wasnt sure if maybe they were a little light they might float away.

They ought to perform on par with 624 heads. Even with minimal porting.
