Id be more concerned with the big hole you will require in the bulkhead. There is the chance for oil, fuel and other poisonous fumes entering the cabin and give you all manner of illnesses. Not to mention the lack of air flow in the cabin also means those fumes will just build up. Gassing yourself with carbon monoxide is always good for brain damage though if thats your kind of thing...

another name for the bulkhead is a fire wall

if you were to be involved in a crash do you think fuel dripping out of the carb and running down the ram pipe into the cab is a good idea ?

I also imagine the induction noise would become annoying very quickly!

What you should be asking is where is all the air needed for the engine going to come from?

To further increase airflow on sunny days you could also make it into a convertible?

Listen lads, i think Gremlin has been on the pipe (and not the induction type)
I recon, we'll see a section on Top gear news, that a youngster has been gassed/burned/gone deaf or dribbling like stephen hawkins at a strip club. ;D
he obviously has made up his mind before even posting his thread, so therfore not gonna listen >_<

By holes, are you refering to the holes in your car that are caused by rust?
