The bottom of a Pantera isn't a good place to try and get cool air into 
the engine. What the factory did with the frame rail air inlet was 
somewhat better than pulling it in from on top of the engine, but 
certainly not a good location. Once the car is moving you will be 
picking up hot air from the radiator. At an idle there may not be enough 
flow from the radiator fans to effect the engine inlet air temperature. 
There is also the pavement temperature to be considered which as low as 
a Pantera is to the ground can be warmer than a couple off feet off of 
the ground and on the side of the car.
