What ya mean, 'orrible lookin intake system? 
You should see what lies inside it; eight bewtiful tuned length trumpets that's wot! One of me Cobra buddies put the said manifold on his 302 and then cut a bit hole in the top of it, covered it with polycarbonate and then polished up the trumpets inside. Way cool lookin' thing  it was. It's also made of that space age material stuff made from recycled XXXX cans that you're so fond of up there. No plastic in sight!

I've now lost me coil pack for a dizzy & coil instead too. Nothing stopping ya from getting that retro carby look while still running EFI. Aussie Mike has been tinkering with retro EFI and my same mate who cut a bit 'ole in his plenum has now ditched it altogether; made an alloy box that bolted to his lower manifold and stuck two 1000cfm 4 barrel t/bs on this 302!  Looks wild as and has throttle response of a motor bike!
