I really did think about going for a correct RA setup but I just like the looks and simplicity of the '68 better. As far as getting caught in the rain, it seems like a couple of small holes drilled in the bottom of the car pan would help along with using an air filter like a K&N that doesn't get damaged if it gets a little wet.
Could even plug the holes and only pull the plugs when it appears rain is inevitable.

The lower pan has drain holes already so you are good.

I'd have a generic lightweight air cleaner and a pair of closed scoops in a box, with the few needed tools inside of it.
Mr.Cool Kit for the Cool factor to impress the other cool kids.
Might would even use it too

Did anybody notice Greg has a Hemi BigBlock DOHC heater core/box ?

Thanks. Sounds like a filter like the K&N would be all I would need to do. Any rain that sucked through the filter would probably make the engine run better! Can't really see enough getting through to harm anything.

Since I'm planning to do a body-off restoration on the car, getting caught in the rain would be something I would try pretty hard to avoid. I might consider car shows in other towns up to 200 miles from me and there's always a possibility of an unexpected storm.

I dont know if my car would make it to a car show 200 miles away. Those 4.33 gears out back sure like consuming fuel. I just do short drives right now and still have to fill up frequently. 100 octane isn't that easy to get out here either. I envy those of you that can actually take your cars out cruising.
