[s-cars] air intake choices

[Rich Beebe]

i ran across that one the other day when i was searching all the
sites that people posted (OEM retailers). it looks good, but i
was thinking that i could possibly bend a new piece of aluminum,
with more surface area (for heat), and rerivet it to the mount.
i'd like a fully enclosed unit (the one i referenced even has a
gasket to close against the hood), but may have to fab something
up if no one makes one.

thanks for the link, jim.
