Thats cool. Looks like a tight squeeze whatever you have it in!
Is that one of those "endurashine" manifolds? Looks sharp...

its a very tight squeeze, if you notice the valve cover to booster clearance is almost non existant, the manifold is a pro products polished cyclone, they are alot cheaper than edelbrock and i hear they flow better too

so now that it's in....everything you had hoped for in terms of power? What's the skinny on your combo?

Seans, I wish I had all that extra room you have in your engine compartment...if you think yours is tight quarters you should see my LS6 454 shoe horned into my 30 Model A. This is scary tight with no room left over...3/8 to 1/2 inch clearance between the block huggar headers and the frame. Nice looking motor in your hotrod...I had to go to a MSD pro billet distributor because my brand new HEI unit was too tight on the firewall...didn't want to modify the firewall so switched distributors.
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
