Still tempted with this idea. But I have a few too many projects right now...I'm going to try to wrap up the following in the next few months before snow hits:

1) Subaru Wheel Skirts
2) Subaru Front wheel deflectors
2) Subaru smaller Mirrors
3) Subaru Trans insert
4) Subaru Mystery Birthday Gift :-)
5) Triumph TR7 Carbs Rebuilt and Air intake down up
6) Winterizing or winter storage for triumph
7) Track down coolant loss in the Ford, could be very bad
8) Garden
9) Clean up the garage from summer's work.
10) Find a real job...

I might do what Brucey did and just pull the intake pipe off. I'm thinking of tracking down some copper piping and ducting two or three pipes from the header up to the intake. I'm sure if I'll get as much warmth transferred as I want, but its worth a shot and copper is pretty thermally conductive :-) If not I'll have to track down some Aluminum tubes.
