L92 carb intake and elbow...check it out Ok...so I am crazy. Literally. So before any of my employees could stop me I had a sharpie and a cutoff wheel and I already made the first cut. There was no turning back at that point. I am undecided as to if I am going to fab a cowl up to go over it or if I am going to leave it protruding a little. I would like for you guys to maybe help me scower the net to find a scoop or bulge that I can buy so I don't have to fab it all on my own.
On a side not I chose this intake elbow after calling West Coast Cylinder Heads and consulting with them. It seems viable that this one will promote a more even distribution of air to all the cylinders and will also have a large volume.

I will get you the part number on monday as I will be out of town for the weekend. Or you can just contact westcoastcylinderheads and he has the correct numbers...the elbow also comes in black.
Does anyone have a good idea for a scoop or cowl with pictures?

We are going to try and flip the throttle body down with the electronic portion facing straight down so that it doesn't look weird with the cutout and it still clears the waterpump by about an inch. I don't think there should be any problem with the blade opening from left to right instead of up and down.

Sorry it took so long for me to update this thread, but I got sidetracked with customer cars and whatnot. Here is what has happend so far...
We took the intake and flipped the TB so that the electric part now points down. To do this we just drilled and tapped and then made a homemade gasket from some spare cardboard.
On a side not I chose this intake elbow after calling West Coast Cylinder Heads and consulting with them. It seems viable that this one will promote a more even distribution of air to all the cylinders and will also have a large volume.
We then painted the whole thing flat black including the valley cover...I then drilled and installed an extra -10 breather from the valley cover down to a JAZ breather can that we are mounting behind the front bumper.

Please update us with hood pics... I would think a "bulge" (not a man bulge) in the hood would look good all centered as such... Looks like good work so far fellas.

I know you guys wanted to see closed hood pics with everything blacked out and here it is.... I am not quite done with it. I am still toying with the idea of fabbing up a cowl. Who knows.
