I'm game!

Cool.... Pm sent

Something like this might also work with your BB hood:



It's based on a Ram Air box with a couple pieces of carbon fiber to create the duct back from the radiator mount. (I have a K&N filter lid on now after dyno testing.)

This is basically what I had in mind. If I were to use the piece PaulDana shows, it would be a matter of leaving off the piece that goes over the radiator, cutting the top open a bit, and adding some foam to seal it to the hood.

Let me know if you're interested in the measurements to make the "pan" that connects the Ram Air Box to the radiator mount.

Thanks but I think it would be different on a C2.

Regular '67 BB hood with the fiberglass and chrome block offs ground out. 4" air cleaner on the RPM with spacer get it up there in the air stream and away from the engine heat.
