    Rust? I think it looks great, and the body seems to be pretty straight to me. I couldn't stop looking at the wheels either, very cool. thanx for sharing

    as long as this was bumped up might as well ask one of my questions, did any OEM EFI system ever come with a bx intake like that?

    I've heard on the trucks, but i've never seen one.

    The old Studebaker sper-charged cars had a box that sat on top of the intake to pressurize the carb inside - (blow-through system with a Paxton charger) - but other than a larger plenum for boost I see no advantage with injection.

    Thanks, I was hoping one had one. I'm gonna need a big plenum and was hoping I could save some money.

    Luckily Jegs has a very affordable one. The TFS would be the "dream" one :D
