well, thats kinda out of the picture. Having a mount fabricated. every thing else fits perfectly. May not even need to cut out a bunch on firewall-have a low profile snorkel.

Its a mallory magnetic trigger. just checked fitment and will need a few strikes with the sledge hammer. the carb fit, but needs a small trim for the low profile hat. will post pics when finished.

Car was a v6. Used a 1st gen because it was more readily available.

Now it isn't finished, so parts aren't polished. Carb is a mock up not actual one being used.
