Good!

Jay, FWIW---
The 'looks' thing is very subjective. If you changed the engine, you'd be, potentially fouling-up the function of your car and that negates the very reason to go on 'Drag-Week'.
After you've proven the functionality of your car, you can always go back and get everything closer to your vision.
In other words, you're doing it right!!!

Jay, as you know I faced this same issue last year with my dual TB tunnel ram setup and I wanted to stay in the Ford family and era scoop wise but I'd given up on a purely 71 429 CJ hood modified to fit. This link (i couldn't copy the picture) shows where I am as of last weekend. I expect to get paint on the two tone primer next week.The combination is a race weight Unlimited Products pin on 71-73 Mach 1 style hood with a 5" tall scaled up Boss 429 scoop. The air cleaner pan I made for the intake is just high enough to clear the linkage and the filter is a 16x3.5" round which i squeeze into an oval.

Jay, the other reason I went with Accufab throttle bodies is because they are a full inch shorter than most of the others out there.

That's a good looking setup Bill, and I like your scoop solution. I wish I had known that Accufab throttle bodies were that much shorter; that would have helped me out a great deal on my setup. I'm using Wilson throttle bodies, and they are pretty tall...
