cold air intake
Well after deliberating on how to fashion a cold air intake for my camden I have decided where to go with it, through the hood. This combined with a qtec exhaust cutout http://www.quicktimeperformance.com/QTEC/index.php , nitrous and then a scoop should make my bridgeport breath its full potential. I will naturally cut up a test hood for fitment and testing before making a final decision.

Did a trial fitment with the hood open (waiting for my donor hood to do some cutting). It's gonna look very aggressive! Nice thing is with the curvature of the hood is that it doesn't have to stick up too far for the front of the scoop to get a good path of air. My next concern when done will be secutiy, I would hate to come out of a mall and find the scoop and carb missing, 4 bolts and a pair of side cutters and she's gone. Gonna have to be a little creative there.

Use the part of the hood you cut out and attach it around the bottom of the cleaner or wherever the hood lines meet up? If it is high enough that is. IIRC, don't those have a round cylinder lip on the bottom to mount to the carb? If that lines up with the hood then there ya go. Quick drawing because I am bored.

Yeah the base contains the air filter and that gets held down with the carb stud. The the scoop get bolted onto the based with 4 small bolts. The hole ith the hood needs to be big enough for the scoop to clear when opening and closing (I don't wanna have to remove the scoop to open the hood). You drawing represents well how much I want it to protrude through the hood. What I "may" do is keep the cutout piece, then form and weld a liner around it. Perhaps with a couple studs and wing nuts mounted under the hood, I could stick this through and secure it when the car is left outside say at a movie or something. Tadaaaaaaaaaaa, that'll do the job!

Nothing worse than a wanna be running one of these on a carb'd n/a chevvy or mustang. I'll have the blower and the whine to go with it, then uncap the exhaust at a touch of a button and zoom zoom. Definitely gonna be an eardrum popper for whoever ends up on the right side of me.

There is, Atkins (aka Pulley Boys). I inquired about going that route with mine and they said they only recommend it for track use, otherwise the set up tends to eat alternator bearings. I give them credit for being honest, could've just said "sure dude" and took my money.

You could try fabbing some "lock nut" bolts instead of using the regular Hex head bolts. That way only you could get them off. You could also try putting rubber caps on the bolt heads to make them less noticeable.
