I thought that I would leave this here for the GM crowd to drool over. LOL!!

Damn, I do like it. Too bad the Windsor crowd isn't worth the R&D.

I still managed to keep mine. IATs are always within 2° of ambient.

Very impressive.
Do you happen to have a list of the parts that get that configuration?

This is the parts list for the piping and couplers. Can’t find the invoice for the filter. The radiator needed to be lowered, the core support modified and the hood bracing cut out to get everything to fit. All in all, I’m happy with the result. I wanted a decent intake but not at the expense of modifying anything on the car’s exterior.
