Big difference man.

I gotta ask, are those braided hoses or slip on hoses. I was thinking about going with the slip on but heard some people have problems with them fraying.

Looks great Gonzo, and I see that you switched the heater hose and temp sensor. It looks very very clean that way. The holley carb is going to work a lot better with some time and tuning behind it. Plus it just looks so much better than the goofy edelbrocks.

Looking really good Gonzo! Just curious about the routing for the fuel pump supply line. The way you have it routed thru the shock upper mount, will that cause fule pump problems by making the pump work extra hard to get fuel? I've never seen it done like this before.
