mack4ever Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 i can try and find a picture of my r model where you can see the hood and the airfilter if that wil help.i don`d know if they ever build r models whit a tiptubine engine.if they did then there must be a airfilter that fits (i asume).

Maddog13407 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I put a Tip turbine 300+ in my 66 R600 with the short hood. I used the air cleaner off the 1980 R612 the engine came out of with the two air inlet tubes. you could use a hood scoop just have to make up brackets to mount the under hood filter to the radiator support I think.
