Chargers Are just flipped over to feed the intake hat. Same way a turbo would. Seems like their would be lot of turbulence in that hat though with both chargers pushing at one another.

I'm guessing that is a carb'd motor so the aluminum box would be the snorkel box that covers the carbs.
But... What is the black piping going from the grille to that same area?

Probably intake tubing. I bet he has the filters mounted forward. Looks like he made a plate for the bottom of the charger out of aluminum and tigged a 4" or so 90 to it. Then ran it up front.

BLack tubing is coolant. Its SBF. Has coolant leaving the engine from the intake manifold.

Allright then. Once again, I'm wrong! LOL. I would like to see how he has the intakes ran though. Unless it's just sucking air from an open bottom. Any thoughts?

They are. They will still work in reverse. Just not as effiecent. The intakes are on the back of the chargers with smaller cone filters. If I recall its FI
