Have the 89 rs-lo3 (tbi 305). Been thinking about cold air. Here is what i have come up with. Tell me if you think this could work.
Camaro / firebird dual snorkel air cleaner. Cut it all the way around about one inch lower then the lid. Weld in more metal in the center of the cut to make it taller. Add the second duck work by the right headlight. Add a k&n with the k&n filter/lid. Then put a lid from a 82-84 firebird with the hole in the top. Add a 3" cowl hood. Take the weather striping out from the rear hood seal to help the underhood heat leave.
Just wanted to put this idea out their, and see what you all think? Would the hole on top of the second lid work to pull in cold air with no ducting, doing away with the firebird design, and not just pull in hot air ,even with the weather striping gone? Would the motor some how take in water from rain, or the carwash? Should i keep the idea, and use just a solid outer lid doing away with the one that has a hole on the top? I know now that the screen is a must also with the cowl hood. Thanks for any thoughts. Any other good ideas might help. Maybe my idea is a dumb one? Been reading too much on this to find little info that helps.
