Re: 8.50 index build
Time to move up front and begin the carbon nose install. Tree fabrication first.
      With mocking up the front end I realized the carb & intake just wasn't going to clear the 4" cowl hood. I don't want a scoop, don't want a larger cowl and don't want a hole in the hood. This was a tough decision but after some research I decided to convert the car to EFI. The throttle body is 1" shorter than the 1250 dominator and a different intake will be 1.4" shorter than the current sv565 intake. Not a cheap change half the way through the build, but I wasn't willing to alter the hood and the EFI swap will have other benefits once the car is running again. |

Re: 8.50 index build
One thing that hurt the most was the Racepak dash mount tuned out so nice and clean. But with swapping to EFI, I had to make a clean break and change the dash display as well.
The EFI system I will be using is the Holley Dominator and the 7" display. The opening in the carbon dash will need some carbon work to close the larger racepak hole in for a clean reveal.
