I'd be curious to see a couple more photos of the CAI and air cleaner assembly. I understand why you relocated the battery, for clearance for the hose for the CAI. Is it a single snorkel setup? Would there be room to run a hose like that on the driver's side of the engine bay? I bought a used air cleaner and intake hose stup from an '88 Cutlass with the 307 Olds, and there's a long hose that runs down towards the rad support on the driver's side. Just wondering if you could run a similiar setup on your car with the Buick engine.

It's highly likely that they will fit the same.

If I remember correctly, his setup is dual snorkel. I'd be interested to see where it ends up too. I tried making a CAI by sneaking around the radiator. Didn't really work... :hijack:

307Regal, on the GNs a lot of us run an intake hose the same place except that the battery is on the other side (parts are out there) and instead of turning toward the radiator we use the hole behind the headlight. Then just go down for fresh air (no hot engine heat) or attach a little L shaped scoop to your factory front lower air dam/spoiler & your hose.

Here are some pics of the setup. It is an aftermarket spectre performance dual cai. Much easier to put one of these on and stuff some cold air in the Buick
