Was able to get a hold of an air box to experiment with.
Thanks to prophet187.

It is basically the same as others who have done this mod. Just my version;I cut all around the air box edge just leaving the upper portion to mount a flange to mount a air filter. Using a dremel with a cutoff wheel to do most of the cutting. Somewhat of a mess, but not bad. Then cut away the air scoops and sanded, and sanded, and sanded. Man do I miss working in the machine shop!
Not sure I'll use this but I wanted to give it a try here at home. I think the filter sticks out a touch to far for my liking. Plan to cut about .500" off the tube. What do you folks think?
More photos to come later.

nice work Joe, agree the tube may be a little long

That's very close to how I did mine. I used a 4" adapter, looks like yours is a 3". I did cut the tube shorter. Had to slide the filter over that plug. I went to check it the other day, and filter didn't want to come off. It was stuck to the tube pretty good. Might of been because I painted the tube. Finally got it broke loose, but the filter was basically fused to that plug. I was able to move the filter down to check that nothing had come loose ( I used cold steel to form the intake ) but it would not separate from the plug. Not sure if it is from the heat. Looks good Joe..

Finished up the filter project.
Cut off about 1/2" of the tube and cut the lip off of the rubber seal. Sits a lot closer now and looks better.

Now wait till spring to see if I'll use it or????????????????

Looking at the first picture, won't un filtered air get in through the openings that are on the back, but they are inside the diameter of your adapter?

The gaps are inside the filter area.

Very nice sir. Minus the stock air box how much did this mod run you?

The picture that shows it from the back... Looks like the openings are in base plate, but outside of the o rings that seal it to the throttle body.. maybe I'm not looking at it right.

Looks a lot better with the shorter stack. Nice job, Joe!

Looks good.

Hey Bools, are you talking about these holes. Do you think they should be filled in with JB weld?

Yes.. those are the ones.. I think they should be covered . I think air would get in and would not be filtered. I would use jb weld, or an epoxy.. I am no mechanic though , maybe others can give their thoughts..

Good catch Bools. Filling them with epoxy. Did you have to do the same?

No, I left the shape in the factory part. My adapter is a 4", and I used cold steel and JB weld to shape it. I figures the shape has something to do with the air flow, so might as well try to keep it.. LOL.. I will try and find a pic to put here.
