This would be cool to see under the hood.

That would look cool under the hood! Wonder what it would be like to tune.

I've tuned dual's with the snail vacuum gauge. 6 would take a lot of patience.

I think it's set up to use a FAST FUEL injection computer, so it's probably way easier than a single 4 to set up. Granted it probably costs 5 times as much.

YRS AGO,and this is the honest truth,,,,there was an ol man that regularly brought a split window 'vette to the drag strip,was beautiful...and it was powered by a ford 289 with the weber set up....I ask him why he wasted a good ford engine..he laughed and said well,I love the looks of this 'vette,and I feel the same way about that little SBF,so I just married the two together,and to me I have the best of both worlds,,after seeing this picture,brought that ol man and his car to memory.............

That's craziness pop!!! but I see his point, he liked them both, so why not. Probably pissed off a lot of people!!

IT SHOCKED ME, he made a pass without the hood and when he drove thru the pits,I said to my then teenage son,unless my eyes just pulled a trick on me ,that damn thing has a FORD motor !! sure e'nuff it did ! was up there a couple of Saturdays ago to watch the sat night street car races and that vette was still runnin but the old man has passed away and the new owner had replaced the 289 with a BBC,,,I didn't even watch it make a pass,it don't interest me anymore......BUT IT WAS SHARP LOOKING IN IT'S DAY,with that SBF....THANKS !

I will let you know about tuning when I get that far.

AWSOME !!!pop

Very cool!

very cool set of stacks...and now on to the engine going in.hard to tell on my wee screen of my phone but is that a belt drive timing set up?
what are the fittings coming out of the front ? and are the flat plates going to be rigid engine brackets or just a temporary thing? Nice work and great looking valve covers

The fittings on the valve cover will go to the vacuum pump. the two fittings on the block plate go to the electric radiator mounted water pump. Motor will have motor plate front and rear rear mounts to firewall
