So to make a long story short. I was rearended by a Jaguar a couple of months ago at a stop light and it pushed me into a semi. So I now need to replace both bumpers...
I have been doing quite a bit of research on a new intake, and would like the following:
1. Open Element
2. Pull coolest air possible (preferably being forced in, like a couple in the air intake thread under IDI Articles)
3. Easy to convert to use with a turbo later down the road
So, I thought I would try and take care of both projects at once. I think the pictures explain it better than I can in words. I kind of went crazy with Powerpoint to make the plans.
After relocating the driver's side battery, I would plumb the air opening behind the expanded metal on the driver's side up behind the headlight and into a closed box with a the filter element (probably a K&N) and then plumb that back into the intake with a setup similar to the Ghost Tube.
I am not sure I like the bumper design on this pickup. It would look better on a '92 or newer. But I am planning on painting the pickup dark blue, repainting the grill, and puting in new headlights. Then I will put on a bugshield and maybe a half-moon visor. I think that would tie everything together more or less.
I am very open to new ideas and critiques. Thanks.
