Default procharger intake tube size

i am trying to plumb an air intake for my disc in an A body-i am using a vette setup, and have barely 4.5" to the radiator-i got one of the procharger inlets for a truck or something, but its curved and wont fit, although its thin enough
in the past i have used 4" tube, but cant here
i was looking at using a tight bend 90 deg. bend, cut it straight, and weld a mtg. plate on it, and a ring for a hose
is a 3.5 pipe enough, as the inlet only meas about 3 3/8" anyway-thanks

Yes, the f body inlet should do the job for you. Bob

heres a pic of what i am dealing with, i cut the nip. off the radiator (wish they would have put it on the other side) i am going to weld a 90 deg on it, and want the inlet to duck under the intercooler inlet, then out thru the inner fender well, where i will put the filter
