Wheelhop, looks good.

Little bit of advice though, TRASH that air cleaner and put on a flat base with a K&N 3" or 4" element, and solid top, like OEM style chrome with the L88 call-out.

Here's a dyno video on some air cleaners:

Now on a 650Hp BBc, that air cleaner killed 71.1Hp. They "figure" it's good for mid 300Hp cars as after that it's seems to cost Hp, FYI.

Glad I found this thread. I'm going to be picking up another Nova, a '67 SS. I'm planning on using my L88 shortblock with some ported '69 427/390hp "215" casting heads, and a .630/.637 cam with a Strip dom intake. This set-up in a 3600+Lbs Buick has ran 10.70's.
