New airbox design for CFI

[proj84vette]

Hi,

I've been working on a design to replace my factory air cleaner cover on
my '84. It will convert the CFI air cleaner to the later L98/LT1 style
duct and air filter box. It is basically either going to be two seperate
plastic or metal boxes/molds for each throttle body or one sheet metal
box simular to the MFI box. Has anyone seen any other ideas out there.
Instead of a throttle body though, the duct will connect right to the
air box. Here is a very cheezy drawing of what i'm thinking of.
I'd love to fit the fuel rail covers off the LT1 on the sides two.

Forgot to mention, I'm after a factory look here. So two open element
air filters is not feasible.

Hi there..

While i have no answers for you re the air cleaner, the pic doesnt show, i figured, i'd give people the link to open it in a browser window to see.

that's good to know, thanks. I've done hours of research and put it
on that website in regards to the L83 and how it was made. I had
no idea they blocked remote image linking. Looks like clicking
on the link doesn't work for me either. But you can just go to
http://xfirevette.bravehost.com

and click on Engine, then continue at the botom.

There is some guy name Joby on a crossfire injection vault that pieced together a 84 Vortech supercharged CFI vette. He made a aluminum box that mounted to the TBI's maybe his box could work for you. Seems like a nice guy, look for him I'm sure he can help you out in your design.

I think this is it.

I can't wait to start mine up, I am hoping for next weekend! I know I have said that before but for real this time:

This is it back in April

i'm thinking a cover like the ls9, it covers the whole top half of the engine and
supercharger. it's going to say corvette on it at least.

That wasn't the "joby" setup I was talking about. He did another style when his 84 vette was supercharged.
