I`d be very carefull about driving it without the export brace installed, could cause some pretty serious issues with that 347...

oh I know, but thanks for the warning. I still have a lot of work to do, and that on the list. I was just excited to have it drive able. She's going in for dyno tuning next week to get it running the way she should.

I had the gauges made by Speedhut with the ford racing logos. the panel I picked up the other day from mustang unlimited. I realy wanted the Billet panel from jmi or whoever makes it. but 6 or 700 for just a panel is too rich for my blood. this setup cam out looking very nice. and it has separate dimmer control.

just out of curiosity what did you pay for the gauges? A local company called "dakota digital" makes a drop in dash that goes behind the stock bezel that looks AWESOME! ...they are a bit spendy tho...but it is a full digital unit with all the sensors included.

PoppyMod: what do Dual 40 mm DCOE Webers on a Performer RPM manifold look like?
HDTony: how wide is your air cleaner? I may have a hood that will work for you. It's an all steel hood with custom scoop. I had it made for my setup with the Webers, but the scoop wasn't tall enough. So, I now have an extra hood.
