MG Midget Madness (i.e. It was either this or kill it with fire)

I got the intake side pretty much done while I'm waiting for my Racing Beat muffler to get here. There was no way to route the intake tract, and no room for the filter, where I was thinking to put it. This was the best I could come up with for now. I may try to build a canister surround and do a cold air pick up for it later. I need to see where everything else [i.e. radiator and shroud/oil cooler(s), etc.] will fit first.

I had to build an adapter to go from the AFM to the standard flange for a 4" ID filter that is 6 inches in diameter and about 6.5 inches in length.

The flanges are a very tight fit. They just barely clear the water pump pulley. Packaging is very tight in one of these cars.

The muffler is supposed to be here Tuesday. I need to get the placement done on that before I can make any further plans about the rest of the exhaust. It's also going to impact the size and placement of my decision on a fuel tank. Still very much up in the air about what to do about that for now.
