Default air filter

What size pod filter do you need to fit on the throttle body? Or would you recomend doing the cut air box lid? thanks

I would do a cut lid before I did the filter on the end of the TB.

Lots of hot air to draw in from the area in front of the TB vs. up in front of the radiator

Your car doesn't appear to be speed density anyway. If it's 90 or older you have the MAF sensor to deal with.

I've seen those setups, but mainly when they transplant LT1's or TPI engines into other chassis' where mounting the air filter and intake duct becomes an issue.
