First let me say....NICE WORK and PROGRESS!!
Looks like the hood hinges on the 57 allow the hood to open a lot...that's nice to see! It's a major concern for Greg and myself ya know!
Have you considered a carb-style intake with a 4 into 1 elbow or a carb style TB for the 57 and relocating the coils? Love the air cleaner....just thinking out loud!
Oh, and nice to hear your voice in the background the other night...see ya in a few weeks!
