Phew, glad it wasn't just me thinking that....

As said by Blue, great install

I agree about the wiper motor..... but I definitely prefer the EFI to carbing the motor. Dropping a carb on it would be a backward step. There's loads of potential with modern EFI.

Yes but I'd prefer a more aesthetically pleasing option. That 'bunch of bananas' doesn't do anything for me :?

Wouldn't mind the car tho, top notch work 8-)

I'd just keep the hood shut ;)

If you get rid of the wiper motor, surely the brake master cylinder/servo has to go too? :roll:

Crikey Duncan you're up early, got a new paper round? :D

I agree with you by the way, modern tech is the way to go really fast, reliably...

Yep EFI on a vintage style intake, best of both worlds. Thing is, you're putting it into an old car because you like the look of it, so the motor needs too look right too IMO.

Quite. You wouldn't stick a modern Bentley engine in a 1929 Blower Bentley, just cos it's more efficient. Or would you.... :-k


Having said that, I'm not against the principle at all, just the look of that particular modern hemi's intake runners. Or whatever they are...

Yes. Sequential EFI using a Hilborn setup would be my dream induction. But they are VERY expensive. :(
