Airbox mod write-up
Anybody here have the link for the writeup someone posted awhile back about cutting the inner fender and pulling air from there by using your stock airbox turned around? I've looked for an hour now and am gettin frustrated. Sorry to ask a question coulda been solved by looking.

I plan to make a fiberglass or carbon fiber intake to connect my stock airbox to the opening next to the radiator support.
It may have to be two pieces for fabrication purposes.
I will keep you posted in my build thread at the FSB forum.

Until then, locating a 300 or 460 OEM air intake is a great idea.
I would do the same, but older parts are hard to find here.

I don't think it would work as well. Also, the I6 tube installation takes about 5 minutes where the flip mod would take quite a bit longer.

I don't see how the flip mod can gain anything.
The I6/460 tube is an easy and inexpensive mod, and run a good Motorcraft, Wix, Purolator etc filter.
I don't know why Ford even made the 5.0/5.8 tube. They should have put the I6 tube on all engine configurations.

Thanks for that third pic, I needed something to make me smile today. 
Anymore pics of how you did that "ram air" mod? Looks like your Photobucket folder's locked. Interested in seeing if I can work something like that into my '93 F-150. Also trying to piece together what's stock and not-stock since the PO did some work to it.
