Cool, did you check the bonnet clearance?

Yes , the measurements are the same as the edelbrock 2101 which Craigh is using. I went for the polished finish which now leads on to me chroming the thermostat housing to match . one thing leads to another and another.....worse case if for some unforeseen reason it doesn't fit, one will be for sale on this forum !!!!

You can buy chrome and polished alloy thermostat housings off the shelf, shouldn't have to have yours chrome plated.

only $60 to chrome up , and keeps the housing original . I've also ordered replacement hoses, but because mine is a right hook conversion , I'm anticipating they may not fit. Might have to go the flexible hose option. Any one rate them and where can i get em ?

Notice much difference in performance?

Throttle response is sharper, Other than that not much.... needed to be changed and added a bit of needless bling
