I have the old SBC setup with a Holley 750. I have always had the standard chrome pancake type air filter, but prefer to get "remote" air buy fitting some kind of remote kit with a KN or similar filter remotely. Anyone know of a kit, or similar i could fit?

Mainly need a cowl which will fit over the holley carb and then add tubing and a filter at the far end.

I get far too much heat in the engine compartment and so dont get any cold air into the carb.

Carb bonnet is what they are known as, they are quite easy to make or have made:

i have reviere airbox on my sbc...

cold air is found via the rear clip air intake.. looks good easy to fit but expensive

^ OP, I cast those in aluminium. Is this any good? You can pm me if you like, it's sitting on my shelf at the moment.

Thats nice - do you have a K&N PN?

Mr Smith does a rather nice rear clip alteration that can catch a bit more of the cold air flowing over the cockpit! Ask Wayne....talking of which, anyone know if he is still posting black comments (aka alive)?

Thanks

Found it: http://www.knfilters.co.uk/plenum.aspx

although I am bit worried about this bit:

Note: The custom plenum is recommended for small displacement engines (less than 200 C.I.) or low revving V6-V8 engines. If the engine requires more than 45 sq. in. of filter area then the plenum should not be used because the carburetor would have to be re-jetted and a loss of high R.P.M. power will be the result.

Not big enough for me perhaps. I did wonder about the restriction potential of some of these hats, they mostly seem to be used in forced induction and not N/A.

Sounds like you need a twin feed as mentioned, these are normally available for 4X4 applications.
