how should i do my intake on my v8 swap?
i did a chevy 350 swap into my 1988. but it i set the engine so far back that a regular round air filter hits the firewall.
so i am looking for inspiration to put an alternative intake on the top of the carburetor. so if you guys could post up what you have done with your intakes it would help with my ideas.
i was thinking something like this:
but would it be worth it to route it to be able to pick up cold air instead of hot air coming through the rad? maybe into a couple air-boxes?
what are your suggestions?

but my current radiator is so wide that it goes pretty much from the washer bottle to the battery
