That head cooling mod is nice. Where might I be able to find those nice adapters at?

Keep the pics coming.
It's the MMR piece. I bought this kit off a guy that had converted a Mach 1 to an Eaton swap.
He ground the fitting and the back of the lower intake manifold slightly and it clears fine.

Does that fitting clear the lower?
Yep. See explanation above.

Removed the driver side motor mount nut.
Placed a floor jack under back driver side of engine and raised about 1.5 inchs.
Valve cover could be removed without touching the hydroboost stuff.
I read a bunch of opinions on here and svtp website before deciding to do it this way. Took me about 20 minutes total! No worries about brake issues!


This FINALLY came in last week. Was on order since before Christmas!
Plan to start on it soon! Lethal's Budget return style system with the Walbro pumps.
