Very nice cold air intake ducts for mounting beside the radiator in the same manner as on the F-body super six, can be found in shops that supply parts for making your own bass reflex speakers for your stereo. The sound outlet ducts, called port tubes, make attachment of a flex hose much easier, and look professional and very nice too. They can be found in lots of sizes, see this or this link for some examples, there are lots of suppliers out there when you know what to look for.

looks like these could make for a clean installation, especially the bolt flange syle.

I have to correct myself after having been reminded that the F-body air duct doesn't take air from the besides the radiator, but from the inside of the fender behind the left headlight. I oughta know, I have one... :oops:
Instead, take a look at aggressive Ted's solution at this site.

The bulkhead fitting I am using is from the local hardware store. It is a RV sewer drain fitting. They cost $5.50. The system mounted behind the grill gets good cold ram air flow and really helps when under the hood temps run hot.
