I just took a Holley (tall deck) EFI manifold that usually has a standard Holley throttle body on top, and milled the entire top of the manifold off and welded the plenum on to gain hood clearance and locate the throttle body forward so I could use the stock throttle/cruise control cables. I use 160lb. injectors. and a FAST EI box.

Oh, I was kidding about selling it... too much of my blood in that car to ever let it go.

Although I have upgraded the rear end with an exotic mucle third member, hiem joint suspension, and coil overs, I will never bolt slicks to it for drag racing as the rear end would still explode instantly. I wanted to keep the car more or less a sleeper and not tub it, etc. As far as traction, I always use 315 drag radials and from a slight roll it definately spins the tires in any gear (except for maybe 6th.. I ran out of courage) and pulls hard like a freight train in any gear... Thanks for the kind words!
