Nice catch on that Hemi Mike. That definitely would be a kick in the pants and sort of explains why the price is lower.
Now, back to the Fitech dual quads set up. I got my latest speedway catalog today. I'm having a really hard time justifying the $1795 for regular dual quad or the $1995 for the power adder dual quad. In the speedway catalog, I can get holley sniper efi as a complete kit with fuel lines, pre fuel filter, post filter, fittings, and a pump for $1250. I'd still have to get a new single 4bbl manifold, but after the sale of the dual quad stuff, I might not be setting too bad. I'm seriously thinking about listing my dual quad set up for sale.
I could put fuel injection and air conditioning on the car for the price of the fitech dual quads. So I really have to decide how "cool" would the dual quads be anyway? I won't be gaining any performance per say right now. The holley sniper 4 injector kit is good to 650hp. That's a good 200hp more of where this engine will be for a couple years at least.Last edited by 40FordDeluxe; 11-16-2017 at 01:19 PM.

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
