Greetings,

I just hung my IO-320-D1B on my airframe and am pondering how to fit
the injector throttle body, alternate air, and cables into such a small
space in the bottom of the cowl.

How have some of you addressed this issue?  I know several have had the
oil sump modified to place the injector throttle body on the front of
the sump, but I have a new engine and don't really want to start cutting
and welding it.

I would like to have alternate filtered air available, drawn from the
baffle area near one of the inlets and ram air with a screen from the
lower scoop with a butterfly to select one or the other.
  o Have you all built airboxes from scratch?
  o Did you have to go with a larger scoop on the bottom of the cowl?
  o Did you use a 90deg elbow to turn the injector throttle body?

If any of you have pictures of your successful installations I would
love to see them (and posted on Marv's web page).


Thanks,

Dan
