Who has a real GTAm airbox with built in runners?

Oops,
Found another seems like box is larger overall and tilted much further down and avoids fender since Guillotine slides are closer to block and runners and injectors are shorter overall than Webers on manifolds which I suspect is what the offered airbox was intended to fit.credit on pic

However, I admit they are a seriously cool piece and they are probably good for a significant increase in power at high speeds due to the combined effects of ram and cold air .... it also appears to have a beneficial effect on low speed drivability as compared to open stacks
I used to run a Alfaholics reproduction on my '69 GTV race car (2L). It would not clear the inner fender until I put a small spacer under the intake side motor mount. Now I have another box that I assume is a reproduction (but different from the Alfaholics one) that is run in a '66 GTV chassis (w/2L). It clears fine. I assume there are some slight differences in the inner fender design from '66 to '69?

The best air horns I have found are the "angled" (not curved) ones that you can find occasionally on ebay.

Can anyone please give me the dimensions of the GTA airbox. As I wish to fit one to my Gulia which has upturned trumpets.
I note that there was a front section in another thread. How dose a filter fit into this configuration. The TZ tube appears to be able to accommodate a conical filter of some sought, is this correct??
