RE: Badger 5 t-bodies

["Scott F. Williams" <sfwilliams@home.com>]

As some may know, I have considered and researched these throttle bodies for
my own car. I absolutely do not want install a scoop in my hood. So, I'm
looking into costs for a custom-built rad that is shorter and wider -thus
allowing cool air to flow in through the grill. Or, perhaps there is a stock
fitment for another car that'll do the trick. I'll follow up with some
details later.
