I cant visualize what your saying, any way you could describe it better?

At the moment I am planning on having a slope down from the plenum, sitting next to the master cyl, down to the head. Unfortunately I have to mount the TBs high up, 4-6in from the head, which isn't the greatest but unless I move the alternator I dont have a choice. I thought about mounting the TBs vertical (downdraft style) but the plenum would hit the hood.

btw, what are my chances of mounting the alternator where the a/c pump is? I'd have to figure out a different belt routing and moutning bracket but that would get it out of my way. Thoughts?

So much engineering, so little patience!

That's pretty much exactly what I was thinking. Except only one set of injectors... It'll take a little bit of work but I can squeeze it all in there.

Can you move alternator to the other side. Second does megasquirt let you use distributorless ignitionso you can convert to edis or dis or something else. I know nothing about megasquirt read about it, and still reading.good luck

Yes you can do EDIS, Ford EDIS in fact. Check out the MegaSquirt 'n' Spark-Extra site for all the ignition control options avaliable.

I'm seriously considering the change to edis and replacing the a/c compressor with the alternator. That would give me so much room I dont know what I'd do with it! I could get totally crazy with the intake!

Another MAP sensor question, I've been adapting a new intake for my daily driver and I need to know if the MAP signal needs to be pulled from a point of constant flowing air or if it can be from "dead" air. The intake I'm working on has a cross over with a valve that I have rigged to be open all the time so it balances the two sides of the engine and the only available port I have that will work is in the balance tube. Would it be alright to put it there or do I need to put it in the flowing air?

It doesn't really matter, but you will get a slightly cleaner MAP signal if the signal line is not in a turbulent area.
