I finally figured a solution to mating the shifter to the console...expect the next photo's to show shifter, gauges and switches permanently installed. If I like this shifter as much as I think I will I may have to put one in the Camaro.

Hopefully I made a good choice in rocker arms...don't have any experience with pedestal mounts. I'll mock up and check everything before ordering some thicker wall pushrods.

They look just like my Scorpions.

I've been over 7500 rpm repeatedly with those. No problems at all.

Rich,
I hope those rocker arms do good for you because I sold them to you. They very well may be Scorpions as that is one of the companies that Ford Racing sources rocker arms from. Crane is the most common manufacturer but they also use Comp Cams and one other company that I cannot think of right now.
best regards, Roland

After studying the rule book I decided to nix any future tech problems concerning a cold air kit by just using the factory air box and associated duct work. Just not sure the aftermarket plumbing would pass scrutiny.

Spent the afternoon trying to figure out the mass of wiring in the engine bay...what a wad. Got the brakes bled...going to try to finish the wiring under the console tm and get out of the interior for good. I'm just hoping when I put a battery back in it the top will go back up lol.

You can get rid of the air box and hose and use a K&N cone filter.

But will it draw more heated air that way?
