Default Swampy is back w blower questions

Installed 177s on 454 mags. They are inboard a cruiser so two issues;
1) there is no room for a traditional spark arrestor.
2) It has Holley 1050 and I am having trouble finding carburetor hats that fit

since the engines are under the floor in a rather warm engine room, I am planning on doing carburetor hats and hoses to pull in cooler air.

anyone got any hanging around I can buy?

thanks

Swamp
