Very nice Steve, whats the completion date?

what`s the black box? flight recorder

Silly question no.1:

Why does the scoop face away from the direction of travel, surely you get less air into the engine that way????


Nice motor by the way

Its looking good.I love the look of that engine and rad is that the firing order marked on the side of the air filter plate?and what motor is that?it looks very potent

It uses cowl induction - the high air pressure at the cowl delivers almost as much air as a front-facing scoop, but you don't get as much debris in it, the hood doesn't behave like a parachute at speed, and compared to a flat-to-the-hood scoop the air is always cooler.

I think that covers it

Looks like you're making good progress with the car - hope to see it out and about at some point this year!

Good answer James,i was amazed to learn that a big block motor like a Hemi or 440 can consume as much air in 5 to 10 minutes as a human would breath in an entire lifetime

Yeah, put your hand behind the exhaust of a big cube car at idle to get an idea of how much air they shift!

Lookin' good Steve, when do you hope to have it back?

but too.
That was my car of the Nats a few years ago when Dean first bought it out to play.That car was also the one responsible for me getting Flowmasters on mine..
