    Fantastic job on the install, very clean. I too never really like the intake style of the 5.0 in the mustangs and ended up getting a 351w. I am really itching to get the 351w fuel infected and was thinking about going with a Edelbrock 5.8 Victor EFI setup, but I just don't have that much coin right now. Plus I wanted to see how it would(n't) fit with the hood. Keep the pics coming. :thumbs2:

    very nice, are you gonna make a ram air pass way for the intake? i think that would be a essential to EFI.

    You did a good job on that. I curious if maybe an aftermarket setup would not stick out as much above the hood.
