Header tank mounted in position.

Header tank and coil mounted in position.

The header tank ideally should be mounted high. This is one time where I have not been able to keep weight low, but I have mounted it as far back as I could.

------------------------------------------------------------

The coil block is quite heavy and again should be mounted low, but it is important to keep it and the plug leads away from any of the engine management sensors, so it had to mounted next to the cyclinder head.

Header tank and coil mounting bracket.



Flexible connection between the air trumpets and the air box.

The mounting for the coil and header tank is made from 1/2" box and bolted to the chassis.

------------------------------------------------------------

The flexible connection between the air trumpets and air box. A split aluminium plate is attached to the trumpets and throttle bodies.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Flexible bellows and the mounting plate to the throttle bodies.
Mocking up the inlet pipe for the air box.

The flexible bellows allow movement between the engine and the air box which will be part of the chassis.

---------------------------------------------------------

The piece of card is the position where I want the inlet to the air box. This picture may help to illustrate how difficult the panelling is when all I have is fresh air to start with.
------------------------------------------------------------

The air box.

The air box.

With a bit of thought I was able to make the air box.

-------------------------------------------------------------

The flexible bellows look very neat. The air box is big and should provide all the air the engine requires.
------------------------------------------------------------

The air pipe from the front grill to the air box.

The 4 1/2" diameter air pipe. I used the largest pipe that would easily fit. This area of this pipe is nearly double that of the four throttle body chokes.
