I agree. If it’s my money I’d just get a 92mm maf and call it good. Again it really all breaks down to cost, a 80mm and 90mm accufab tb are the exact same price so there’s no sense in not getting the 90 right off the bat.
I think we have the engine, intake, fuel system, accessories and miscellaneous items figured out. I'm still researching long tubes. I think 1 7/8" is the way to go a 2" is too much and 1 5/8" is too little. Although 1 3/4" seem more readily available. Can you guys kick that around 1 3/4" vs 1 7/8" for this application?
Honestly 1 3/4 and 1 7/8 won’t really make a difference. I’d get the 1 3/4 if they’re easier to find, but both will suffice.
A 1.6" dia exhaust valve is less than 1-5/8" and that is not the smallest part of the exhaust. 1.6" is the outside dia of the valve, not the seat area, plus the port gets choked further right at the valve stem/guide area.
1-3/4" long tubes are more than enough for this engine the way it is going to be used.

Really? I'm surprised at this. I would have thought you all would have suggested an aftermarket distributor (new electronics being the key here).
They are all horrible and failure prone.
One of those items that they truly don't make them like they used to.
I'm digging these old school Ford Motorsport valve covers on Ebay, but it looks like the breather is missing something. What would it take to make these work? I may have to splurge on an early Christmas present for myself assuming I can find the right breather AND these would work on my planned build.

Are they really that much more different than the Ford Racing ones that Mustang5L5 and TOOLOW91 are both running?
It appears on a crate engine like this I'll only need the '90-'93 oil pressure sending unit and NOT the stem. Or am I off here?
