Default Cowl Induction for a Chevelle LS-1

I have seen some information on a operational cowl induction setup for a 1971 Chevelle here. I cant seem to pull up any old threads of the build.
Can anyone here point me in the right direction?
I do have some leads. I will be picking up a 1966 Chevelle cowl hood this week at Charlotte Motor Speedway, during the Fall swap meet.
But any help with the air cleaner would be appreciated.

Bczee has a functional cowl induction hood on his 71 Chevelle, that's probably where you saw it. PM him, or just wait, i'm sure he'll see this and chime in soon.

Here you go. I am sure Brian will be by to add anything new. He has had it working for several years.

I have had many request to sell the air box for the Cowl Induction hoods. I have lost access to the Sheep metal shop that I used and would have to find another shop that would allow me to do the work. Else I would have to do them at home with common hand tools.

I am considering making a few and will let others know if I do decide to create a few more. Stand by....

I actually have some access to a HVAC fab shop. I would have to get these guys to make it for me, they wont let me use their tools.
What would help would be some templates or patterns to go by. I will be getting a cowl induction hood this week at the Charlotte Auto Fair. This will give me some dimensions.
That cowl induction air box looks great. Gives it a more carburetor look, throw back appearance.
