A tunnel ram with unlimited space over the carbs and open velocity stacks is the least restrictive.
You could lower the engine like the Cobra Daytonna Coupes did as well?
There is compromise with everything. For the specific application you need to determine the best combination of compromises.
The Blue Thunder copy of the Shelby intake manifold is not the best intake selection available.
Lowering the engine.. & transaxle.. I don’t think so… LOL (can’t lean it because of distributor against firewall)
my thinking goes in the direction of remote air filter… somewhere in the right side down low… just have a bump for the turn into the carburetor with 5” tube..and get larger in diameter once the crap is cleared… pretty much like injected engines carry the air.. it’s just the turn into the carb that has to be well thought out!
Side effect.. colder air intake!!!
