Bunkie314 They sell bilge fans for boats that are water proof for $30.00. Some of the Kirkham guys are running them on both side of there motors. They push the air out the side louvres. Works great. There was no turkey pan on the carb. Alot of the air is pulled in through the hood scoop. Boater world sells them, you could also use them on brake system to cool rotors and pads racing. They are small, a 4" fan blows 270cfm and mounts on the inner foot box. It's seams we all have to balance between wife and mistress(car) to stay happy

Building a $75 K kitchen right now instead of my 496 motor. You like whining out a big bore short stroke too
Why not use a 5 spd with OD, lower gear in the rear and a torque monster with a 6,000 rpm limit? I run 12.5 with my 452. I will see after the 496 is built whats a better motor
