    Engine bay was just too cramped and air had nowhere to go.

    Yeah, but I don't have a "Rat" engine, just a Rover V8.

    Hmm, can you imagine it with the new Chevy 502 ci crate engine? Hmm, the 3.5 Rover is 215 ci, so a 502 must be about 8 litres. 8O

    No. If they did they'd be called "sucks" not "scoops". [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
