    MassFlo-EFI with the old school treatment.






    It took some work to get this all to fit, but I like the old-school look, so it was worth it.

    Turkey Pan is from www.mastertouch327.com.
    He made a pan for me without all the typical cut outs in the side of the pan or on the bottom plate. Then I drilled out the holes I needed for the wiring and clearanced for the throttle.

    Hellings air filter housing came from **********...but I needed a taller K&N filter to clear the mass air meter.

    Expansion tank is a vintage one that was modified to fit the small block. The tank sold by ********** doesn't work with the larger diameter distributor that an EFI system uses. If you go this route, make sure you get the tank pressure tested...my first one kept leaking and wasn't repairable (I tried 3 times to fix it).

    Hi Bill-

    What was your experience working with the POR clear product? I have looked at it, and was curious how easy it is to work with, and how satisfied you are with the end result.

    Thanks in advance!

    Regards,

    Steve

    The Glisten PC is a really nice product. 8 years and still looking great. Since I had so much to cover, I had a painter guy shoot the panels with a spray gun. Very satisfied.

    Straight forward install with nothing fancy, so far. 'Bama tuned FORD Racing COYOTE crate engine with BOSS intake. Crankcase breathers replaced EGR system. Cool air ducted in from the oil filter air intake. 3 tunes available with X4 handheld - street performance, competition, ghost cam for shows.

    Update on my engine compartment - still "old skool cool," but now with the small block look instead of the former big block appearance.

    Later,
