i bought a jbl that had cowl induction that was pretty nice and looked good although the hood was a bit heavy at 45#'s and had to be replaced so it was never reconstructed. i was in the process of building a locost couple years back and through the firewall was going to be used for induction because of supercharger inlet location. the previously mentioned jbl now has through the hood air cleaner and comp style windscreen and if the exhaust is quiet enough i can hear the air entering the carb and it is an impressive sound and changes as the butterflies open.

my cockpit is not warm btw and is real comfortable, course everybodies is different. when i had efi setup and sensor in intake tract with cleaner through the hood the temp would be right around 125 deg. fyi.

try it and make it reversible somewhat and let us know how it turned out. i have seen some trucks running around with the air inlet snorkels on the a-pillar but that could be difficult to explain.
