I am getting ready to do something very similar but I had an idea on the core support issue. I am going to try and make sleeves for the 4in tubing to go through. The way I figured if I could get some 4 1/2", or similar, exhaust pipe I could cut holes in the core weld in the pipe and be able to easily slide flexible piep through there and not compromise the core support.
Of course that would only work if I actually had the room to weld in something that big. Just a thought.

Ive ordered every thing that you are showing and will be here tomorrow and it not cheep. But i think its going to be worth it in the long run. This should be a fairly simple mod. and some fab work. I appreciate the detailed pics and it makes it a lot easier to install. And im going to seal off the upper air box to.

The 4" polished aluminum 45* elbows with 6" tan. 35.00 each shipped. 2= 70.00
The 4" X 45* 4-ply silicone elbows coupler with 6" tan. 30.00 each. shipped 2 = 60.00
the 4" intake polished aluminum duct mounts 12.50 each shipped 2 = 25.00
The 4"X5" rubber couplers 5.00 each 2 = 10.00
grand total 165.00
I found all of this on E-bay
You can most likely find it cheaper, if you can find it in house or local parts store, The shipping on these parts was just crazy.

Digging the set-up! I did a ram air set-up on my Nova due to the closed stock flat hood, and it was worth about .07 and 3/4 mph from a 4" tall K & N filter w/ extreme top (ram air opening in place but blocked to incoming air) to the full system. The ram air scoops are next to the radiator so it gets a full blast from behind the grille and it also seems to help between round consistency as well.
