Very interesting project. Thanks for posting the updates and pics, Hail.

Don - I was wondering if there's even a need for an intake air scoop. With all of that hot radiator air routed up and out of the engine compartment, the only thing left in there would be some radiant heat from the engine and exhaust manifolds. Underhood air temps should be way lower than most cars and a simple duct into a wheel well or bonnet/cowl vent might be all that's needed to supply cool intake air.
