I think you are thinking of Group 44, but not Datsuns. My race buddy is a TR8 racer and Group 44 man, in fact, his car is number 44. They were famous for racing TR8s, TR6s, Jaguars, and other "unracable" British stuff. The TR8s they had back in the day had that exact airbox that you mention. Pulling air from the high pressure point at the base of the windshield.

Thanks for the wishes, I'll have some video to watch if it all goes okay.
