Jay, considering I got 2 totally refurbished 660 center squirters and a brand new BT oval air cleaner set with it, along with the several hundred dollars worth of polishing and fuel rail set-up, I think it was a pretty decent deal. If I had priced all that stuff separately (minus polishing) and added a new tunnel ram with the adapter, I'd have had about the same amount in it. Of course I'll probably have a few hundred dollars more in it to make it work good with a set of Pro-Ports, but it certainly won't be the first time I've spent money unnecessarily..lol

The rare and cool factor played a big part in me getting it. I'm a sucker for old-school-cool. The same will go for the car it's going in. I have better options for a drag car, but they're not near as cool.

Looks sweet Doug.  I'd add that any late 50's Ford would look pretty good with that setup on display.  It's almost as clean as the undercarriage of your Mach 1 ;D.

Len, my drive to make things as perfect as I can has cost me more time and money than I'll ever care to admit!

Doug, who made the fuel rail? I`d like to make something similar for my setup.

The fuel rail was made by the previous owner. I sent you a PM about it.

Before I read this thread..( I always look at all the pics first...kinda like a new issue of Penthouse ;D ) I thought.... wow somebody polished the "Weiand" right off that baby! Lol I wonder which came first...The PSE or the Weiand tunnel ram? Looks neat Doug, thanks for sharing.
