Mike like I said I'm really looking forward to see how this progresses. Pretty much like you said in your first post, you can't argue with performance (and reliability) of the new stuff......but like you, to my eye most of it is at best pretty blaaaa, and at worst damn ugly when you open the hood. I miss the days when opening the hood of a car was as much of a selling point as what the exterior and interior was....so I really like the idea of what the whole project is about. I also fully understand about making all 8 barrels work.


".....The air cleaner will be in this week. The first big issue is getting it all to fit under the hood. Gonna be close......"

Yeah, I've got a few of those ...... It's how the Plymouth ended up with a scoop. It definitely wasn't my first choice but I was bound and determined I was going to run the Tri=Power.

I know I've mentioned it before, but what turns out to be really handy for me in those situations is setting my phone up in the engine compartment and using the video function to see just how much room I actually have when the hood is closing.
