I remember a thread a while back... a guy ran air tubes through the longs, and put the intake under the fresh air grill. He did a nice job and had some pretty solid stats to back his efforts.

If you didn't mind cutting the body sheet metal, it seems like putting a duct in the front of the rear fender just behind the door would be logical. All the modern mid-engined cars have a grill there.

I took the easy route... my filter is just under the engine lid grill with the rain tray out. Works nice. Fab a half round shield to mount just off the filter so it can be rotated... a rain shield above for winter, or below for a heat sheild.
