I made a dummy oil pump drive and hid the FPR and filter in the back where Chebby puts their dizzy.

I also had to completely rework the linkage, but doing so I made it very progressive. The first half throttle only opens about 20%. Makes it really driveable, but a banshee when you start mashing it past 75%.

I also trimmed off the trumpets and made a carbon fiber air cleaner.
Very Cool! I'm trying to figure out a hood mounted filter box but I think I'll also have to trim the stacks about and inch to give me enough chamber area. Did you cut them on a lathe?
