We took that into consideration and if you look at the pic I just uploaded in the begining of the post the manifold was cut down 1/2 inch which will allow for hood clearance. I love your base plate and once I get the motor in I will see if I need it. Probably will but I hate to buy one until I know for sure. Also need to check and make sure the 850 Quickfuel carb is same demensions as a Holley you developed the plate for......

Going to be tough to wrangle the T I T crew with their race and cross country schedules. Let us know when to be there.

Thinking the motor and trans might come over to Dallas next week as Rob told me they have another engine to go get next week and they probably will bring mine back also unless Keith is coming over to Dallas. Rob is doing my headers and side pipes so the plan is to take the car up there on a Saturday when Rob is available (he's racing with a NHRA Top Alco Team on most weekends) and just stick the motor/trans and he will keep it a couple days and do the headers/side pipes. I'll bring the car home and finish it while the headers and side pipes are being coated. I pretty much have everything now to finish the car.
