I'd be curious to know what sore of airbox config you are considering as well. For reference here is Louis Ott's airbox (I believe this car now lives in Texas by a RL member). I snapped these photos in 2016 on a lunch meeting with Louis.

I'll be watching your thread with great interest. Please share your designs as you are working out. I'll always very enjoyable see the innovation process at work.

Engine in...and without removing the washer filler neck!!
Great work so far, keep it up. Subscribed. (Just curious, are you doing this solely as a personal project or in hopes of putting together a kit? Not currently on my radar, but I'd be very interested in a run-down of your parts list and findings when you are done.)

I think when Louie did the intake he had to tilt the radiator top backwards to get room for the over the top air filter set up.....lots of mods .....

There is no way that you'll be able to get that engine into that small space in the car.

Good job!!
