Looks great!

You're going to suck those little air cleaners into the blower...

That looks really

A word of advice though, that motor is going to be moving alot of air so keep those air cleaners for shows and get a fiter system that won't choke that blower

There is no way you're gonna need all that motor. You should immediately pull it, put it in a crate and send it to me!!!

Looking good!

Got a question though... With as many cfm's as that motor can pull, is the small filter element going to stop some ponies? Or will it just suck one through the carb when you open it up the first time?
