    Got my intake figured out. I will need to make some mods to the cowl to clean it up and secure the front of the filter.
    The pic of the filter assy shows the intake tube with the filter and the "thing" to the left of it is a bypass. Kinda like an automatic alternate air source. The black tube (far left) with clamps adapts to the throttle body (3" to 3-1/4").

    Hurst... good choice, Jeff! I put a Spark-O-Matic shifter in mine. You may be too young to remember the Spark-O-Matic. Do they still make them? I put one in a '48 Plymouth that I had, along with a 283 & drive train from a '59 Chevy. Man, did that thing have a good (BIG) back seat!

    John,
    Was the transmission sparking or the big back seat... 😂

    DF4,
    When I get some time on this bird I am definitely bringing it out west! Seems I owe you a ride...

    Looking ahead with anticipation Jeff for my flight but not just a ride. I want to fly that Mega Fox. I think it will even intimidate our Diamondback rattle snakes and scorpions with those tires and horsepower not to mention a few Carbon Cubs.

    Was talking with a friend at work about the kitfox and how high it sets. S-turns came into the discussion and he said Why dont you use a camera?
    Brilliant says I. Picked up a wireless back up camera and it connects to my tablet and displays whats in front. It can record .avi (movie) or .jpeg (pic).
    Has a wide field of view an weighs almost nothing...

    As the Britts say, " brilliant". With cameras so tiny today no reason not to.
