Cool air intake idea.

[SOON2BLAZE]

Time to think about an air cleaner for the BBC. As warm as the air gets under the hood I was thinking about something other than an 14x3 air cleaner. I don't consider this ram air by any means, and I have no idea how much hot air circulates between the grill and the the core support. SO, k&n air hat with a carb adapter, and silicone hose to prevent heat soak, through the core support to a cone filter with maybe a box to isolate it right next to driver side headlight in the mouth of the grill. And maybe a filter bag that lets air but not rain in (not that we get much rain here) Not trying to reinvent the wheel, just get the old girl to run better. All input is welcome, thanks, Chris
