Putting an IO-360 200hp engine in my 801.  Working now on the Oil cooler mount and baffling.  I am wondering if anyone has used the baffling kit from Zenith and whether or not it would work well with the slant valve design of the IO-360 A1A.  The valve covers look completely different and I am wondering about the rest of the kit as well.  I am putting a rather large Oil cooler on and want to maintain a 60/40 split on the air plenum to keep the cylinders cool on this higher performance engine.  

 

I am also putting a Nippon Denso alternator on so I am building a bracket for that.

I am building the air box for a K&N 2060 air filter as well.  I have a pretty good design I think but looking for any issues folks have had with their airboxes so I can avoid those.  Clearly this is a fuel injected engine so no need for carb heat but alternate air source ideas.  I plan right now on a spring loaded bottom door for that.

Any advice on these type builds would be appreciated.
