Mark, I believe that would make the 5.9 litre Chryser airbox about 14.75 litres. If you check out the airboxes on group A V8's I think they would have no problem matching that capacity. This would be about one and a half plastic buckets in volume. Air speed is not a problem in an air box. The main function in plenum design is to remove restrictions to air flow and ensure that the air does not have to make sudden changes of direction. Air speed becomes important when fuel is entering the system near the injectors or in the choke area of a carburettor. The air speed needs to be high and flow laminar, so the mixing of fuel is optimised and maintained without fuel dropout and puddling.
