Here's the mission:
I've got a 283 in my 1954 Chev pickup. There's like 2' of clear space between the intake and the hood. I'm looking for suggestions for an intake set-up that will come up high enough to have some eye appeal. This is a look-good, putt-around-town street rod, not a racer, so I am not looking to drop huge bucks on high-performance parts.
Currently, I've got a Carter AFB carb on the cast-iron manifold, topped by two stacked circular air filters on a cheap chrome filter set-up, topped by a baby-moon hubcap! No joke! It's kind of ghetto, but it bearly sticks up high enough to be noticed.
Ideas??
