I'm thinking about taking a Spectre Performance Musclecar Fresh Air Box Kit and sending the hoses through the fire wall to use the air from in side of the cab.
These are advantages
After a while air will become a constant temp so it won't mess with your carb settings
On daily driver and your driving with a car that has a carb all You need to do to help it warm up faster is turn on the heater using warm air from inside help it warm up faster
Like the best way to keep water out of it in tell you cross a 4ft deep creek but thats kinda rare for me
You wont go through filters as fast because your cab air stays cleaner then under the hood
Colder Air? Crank up the A/C
Next disadvantages
The set up doesnt look as good as a open element
Will the duel 4 in' hoses be able to feed my Beefy 383?
More noise that can be a advantage or a disadvantage you can always turn up the radio but what if Your talking with some one my truck will soon have duel 44s ass well
Gas fumes well if the carb is pulling air i dont think thats a problem intill you stop at a light. It might not even hapen
Its sucks to replace the air filter
What do you think? I would love to hear from people. Good or Bad
This system is for when I swap out my 350 to a 383 with
10-1 compression
Fully CnC ported 72cc Al Heads
Duel exhaust-Hooker tuned super comp headers with 44s
Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap plus added CnC porting with a Street Sweeper Super Sucker Carb Spacer then a Holly 700 Double Pumper

Another thing to consider is that you will always need a vent or a window open to replace the air being removed from the interior, also you will not be providing heated air into the interior until after the engine has warmed up.
