I also think feeding the engine hot air is nutty so this is how I did it on
my Starduster XIO-320 with homebuilt EFI. I welded plates over the original
holes in the sump. The four-into-one exhaust I built from an idea I read of
in an old Sport Aviation back when there was often some interesting
technical articles (before it was dumbed-down to the level of People
Magazine). I think it was a CAFE (?) evaluation of various configurations
of exhaust schemes.
No air filter...ram air directly into the throttle body.
This system has been running well for about five years now.
