".......At first I wasn't happy with the look of it. But you know what, it'll be covered in kill mat......"

Yeah transmission tunnels can be a PIA. I was happy about with the floor/tunnel I did in the 37, but the 87 Ram 50 was a giant pain and there were a couple of places I wasn't real happy with my work (I was using stainless too.). I came to the same conclusion as you, and by the time I added insulation and a rubber floor mat (instead of carpet) you couldn't tell it didn't come from the factory that way.

Of all your air-cleaner options, I definitely like this one the best (the Six Pack comes in second, but I'm prejudice LOL )

The neat thing about the pre-war cars is the amount of height you have for air cleaner clearance.

I'm already wondering what air cleaner issues I'll run into with the HEMI in the Valiant.
