I have used a few of the TA performance air cleaners and other than touching it they look like metal.

Paul, Did you get the Canadian documentation for the car yet? If so did it show the cowl plenum being ordered with the car? Go for broke, get a crossram and a factory cowl plenum air cleaner set up. Am I reading this right that the whole air cleaner is made out of plastic? I had a 1967 Z/28 and I remember that the duct that attaches to the firewall was plastic with a rubber tube that fed into a steel air cleaner. This was over 20 years ago, was I looking at a reproduction?

From what I have heard the cowl plenums from NKR are very close... the lid is the only minor difference... I have read that unless you have the lids side by side you can't tell them apart.

This is a quote from the NKR website...
"Nelson,
Your work on the 68 Z/28 cowl plenum is excellent."

If Jerry gives his blessings (and I wasn't prepared to spend the $$$ to buy a NOS one) then it would be good enough for me.
