My ‘75 L-48 (all 165HP). Oh, wait, that was the old engine. Now a 496 with custom 3x2 EFI from FB Throttle Bodies.

Custom made by Bruce at FB Throttle Bodies. Basically an Edelbrock Dual Quad welded up and remachined for the new throttle bodies and injector bungs added. We probably could have squeezed one based on the Air-Gap Dual Quad under the hood but this was safer.

A single plane probably would have worked better with the EFI but this has a little more bling.

The Dominator will make more power. I ran carb tripower to fit under the stock hood. Used the Mopar mechanical secondary carbs and it was a beast. The EFI is much more driveable, maybe a bit down on power. A normal 4bbl EFI would probably make more power but this setup is visually appealing.

Few months late, I'm running same filter setup and I didn't bother cutting up my radiator support. Also, picture to join in on the thread.
