Airbox on 3 inch cowl

Has anyone made an air box/enclosure for a 3 inch cowl good. The way the block sits in these cars the rear of the filter is nearly hood level but the front is way up, nearly defeating the purpose of the cowl hood without a sealed box on it.

Re: Airbox on 3 inch cowl

There expensive but are a complete assembly including the 3in filter and "extra flow" filter top. = http://www.spectreperformance.com/ca...ly-cowl-hood-3

I do not have the box but the top and about 1in of the filter sit snugly into the cowl hole on the bottom of my hood. ( 1/4 in gap all the way around )
Just enough to supply a nice consent flow of ambient air through the top.
