I ended up ordering the ramhorns in the bottom picture. They look like pretty good castings.

I started mocking up my air intake today. I bought a new bellows boot for a LT1 Trans-Am WS6 ram air. It was expensive at $60 but it is perfect for what I want to do.

I'm going to do this pretty similar to what I did on my '55 Bel Air that I showed in the photo earlier in this thread.

I will butt weld a straight section of pipe to the 90 and also weld a support to the bottom side to match up with a flange I will make and mount to the shroud for support for the pipe.

I haven't decided about a air filter box yet but most likely it will reside in the wheel well.

In the photo, it looks like it might be difficult to fit my upper radiator hose. But, I've got the hose and tubing I'm going to use and it will not be a problem.
