Thanks, I will check into both of these. I'm gonna need it. I also find repro under bumper air horns as replacements on the W-30 olds on ebay (2486020815). My wrench really wants an outside air source for that engine. One of the challenges is getting outside air without taking out the cars high beams for a air intake. Been considering that as well. Had a guy yesterday tell my that I'm fixing to have an interesting hood clearance issue with the 468 engine, Edlebrock air gap manifold, Holley 750 and a 3" K&N set with the Xtreme top. Edlebrock says the air gap is only 5/8" taller than the Performer R-2, P-2 ( whatever ) that was on the 396 so I guess we will wait and see. Got a spare hood hanging on the wall but I'm trying to to scoop it. If I do the W-30 thang I just need to get the ram air air cleaner housing and no hood repaining is needed. Still should go the Street and Performance injection system and just forget it. Bet I have one on there by Christmas anyway. And a 4L60E or better if the 700r4 don't make it like some predict. Especially if my wrench borrows the car some weekend for a 1/4 mile "test drive". If it has a new tranny in it on teh following morning I'll know the other one bought the farm.
Anyway, as always, thanks to you for the help. I'll keep you posted.
