Pierre,
We had the plenum made by Massey Aircraft Services at Shafter,CA airport-- Minter Field.
They have what appears to be a wooden mold the size of a saddle for making custom cowls and/ or plenums. For the IO-540 cold air induction with round inlets.
We spent the last four weeks getting it just about right.
i.e. we needed to transition to the inlet rings so we found the only thing close to a perfect fit-- my Home depot zip ties plastic container-- cut the ends off- and turtle waxed it and made the tubes. and fiberglassed them in place.
And then guys that have done the round holes will tell you about the difficulty of getting the rings molded in.
If I get a chance, I'll call them and ask exactly how they did the plenum.
edit--Stephen-- if you read this-- everytime I look at your build pict on thing always comes to mind. "Man, he sure put the thing on it's gear early in the build process."
