First step is rerouting that dang CCV though. My IC boots are disgusting.

I have some templates of the box that I made But they are in FL now. If I had the stuff here I'd say come on over and we could build one for you.

When you do the CCV mod make sure that there are no dips in the hose for water to collect. It can freeze and cause other problems

how did you make that box to separate the filter from everything else? or did you buy it?
I made the box with a template that I had modified. You can either weld it or bend flanges to pop rivit it. The purpose of the box is to "sheild" the heat from the engine and allow the cool air to come into the box and through the filter.

Post a pic of wha you have under the hood now and we'll put our heads together to see what we can come up with.
