Unless you have an original inner cowl vent housing, you'll need to likely fabricate one.

I used an HVAC stove hat. After it was welded in, I cut out the inner frame which enabled the flap to clear. Fit perfect. Hole was very close to original size requirement. Sandblast the edges prior to welding in since it's galvanized.
