You know I don't know shit about engines. But my understanding from the gearheads on the boards is that its a cold air intake from a functionality standpoint. I've seen pictures with the top piece off. You could probably tell whats going on within a few seconds if I can find the pic.

But, I got it because it looks cool. I got the bumblebee stripe because it looks cool. 485HP is a big enough engine for me. Some people may not like it, that's okay. Cars are very subjective.

The air filter is the blue thing on the right, it's in a box with a seal around the top. That seal is there to seal the box to something. I would think its the hood and there is a cut out in the front of the box that I would assume lets air in from behind the grill.

The shaker hood piece lets cooler air into the engine compartment but isn't really doing anything performance wow anymore. Cooler air is more dense and more dense air means more power. In the old carburetor cars the shaker piece had an air filter in it and let the air from outside go straight into the carb.

On a cool spring night is when a car will run its absolute best IMO.

And I actually agree, they look bad ass and always have IMO. But they were just lazy in this case and that pisses me off. They could have easily made that fully functioning.

okay guys. Time to toot my horn. After 3 weeks of extremely hard work, I got my car back up and running! I broke it all the way down, put new rings in and replaced the head gasket.

I did it all myself except for about an hour when I had a mobile mechanic help me set the timing. I wanted to make sure it was right before I put it back together. After I reassembled it, it cranked right up!

Had some smoke for a while but that's to be expected. Now I have to break it in about 800 miles. Good news is this engine is practically brand new now. Mechanic said should be good for another 5 years.

Yay me!

Yea it seems like they could have simply had duct work feed the air box from the shaker scoop assembly. Odd.

Edit: On second inspection it looks like it does have duct work going from the scoop to the air box so it does appear to be a fresh air intake and somewhat functional.

Or even just put an air filter in the top with a throttle body inlet pointing straight up and kept the air from ever hitting the warmer engine compartment.

Yep after I zoomed in you can see the duct work. Thank god.

The undrhood of that car could have looked so much better though...

Yes, I checked on the boards. Its a cold air intake directly into the carburetor.

yeah I ordered on the 2nd day possible and people have their cars and I'm looking at their pics going

No garage right now. Wife is going to think about this summer. She is going to come up with plans for adding onto the house. Some kind of architecture thing tied into a garage.

The duct from the shaker is open into the air box and then the air is sucked into the air filter then through the throttle body and into the intake.


There isn't a carb on that car buddy
