I don't mind the rails at all. The common guy would not even notice them. He would be starring at the stacks. I actually like the carb turkey pan look.

I considered the 8-stack EFI or carb setup for my car, but there's something to be said for simplicity, which is the turkey pan and carb.
Ultimately, I love the look of the 8-stack setup, but the setup and maintenance steered me away. I thought I'd have to add a fuel delivery expert to my payroll and saving $10,000-$15,000 didn't hurt either. |

I don't think any 427 Cobras came with the stacks from the factory. Another reason I like the carb turkey pan look. I like competition cobra cars.

I put one of those $1000 cheap chinese 8 stacks on the wife's 71 vette with a blueprint 383 long block advetised as 440 HP. I only have about 2 hrs messing with the tune and it runs great, with AC. I did some "work" to it. I'm running megasquirt and eliminated the distributor and put 2 Dodge Neon coil packs on it. Picks here are a bit difficult, but if you're interested and want to learn to tune yourself, PM me.
You guys can flame on, but I have less than $2000 in the whole thing and it runs well enough for me to put lovely bride behind the wheel with confidence.

Small cam. Easily done. It's when you get an aggressive cam they get strange. Read the threads in here about them.
