I'm sure you've already checked Mark, but will the EFI with air cleaner clear the stock hood or do you have other plans? It looks pretty tall!

Will fit under a stock cowl hood seeing that they are doing a similar setup to what Matt did for Tom Tomlinson's Camaro.

Nice! Why the custom trans crossmember over the Holley this time?

More exhaust clearance mainly. You can suck up the exhaust about an extra 1/2 inch.

Yes should fit. Tom’s 69. Very similar.

Mark,

A couple of quick questions about that intake setup...

What throttle body is that?

Is the air cleaner base bolted between the throttle body and intake for mounting?

And finally, does it clear the fuel rails without a spacer?

I used that same intake manifold and fuel rails, and I struggled with making a Trans Am shaker base fit. Wish I had thought of this idea. Very slick! I do prefer a cable connection between the throttle pedal and TB though - not a big fan of the DBW setups in the cars I have driven. Presumably with a good tuner it shouldn't be an issue though.

Correct me if I’m wrong Mark, DBW for cruise control?
