A buddy of mine has one, I traded it to him last year. I owned it for several yrs. It is in great shape. Let me know if you are interested and I will see if he wants to sell it.

Way back when I used to mess with Mustangs.
65 Fastback with a 70 Boss 302 transplant. That 1150 carb with 4 accelerator pumps was too much so we had a single Holley top made for the intake later and it ran much better.

Hands down the best intake is that Z intake thats on the car, the ram piece is cool but a dog under 3500...stick some 3:55 gears in the car and put some woopazz on the street [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]

I have did some reaserch on Smokeys intake &amp; its 50/50 on it-some say its good-but a lot say its JUNK!I was just checking to see what that &quot;Smokey Ram&quot; intake would do, It looks so COOL-I have a Nice 4 Bolt main spare block that is near perfect&amp; A set of &quot;TURBO&quot; Heads I plan I haveing that built to a MONSTER when I get some more parts for it -Im VERY happy with my combo now-especially with the 4:33 gears I have in the car [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] I have had A few BBC's built up &amp; had fun with um-but there is something about a Built sbc that Get's me all the time...

</div></div> What was the purpose of those? Just easier to get at when you're wrenching?

[markjohnson]

Those Moroso Transmission Crossmember bolts are great. I've used them before and it's really a downer that they've been discontinued, but then again it's not too much hassle to make a set up with longer Grade 8 bolts and running a thin jam nut against the shank of the bolt. You could even tack-weld the jam nut in place if you'd like. Those longer bolts make it much easier to finger-start the bolts through those small holes in the framerails. I also like to fabricate a &quot;nut plate&quot; to go on top of the frame rails instead of using two standard small 3/8 nuts with an open end wrench balanced on them sight unseen. Just a simple strip of steel about 2.00 inches long, about .750 wide and about .375 thick with two drilled &amp; tapped holes the correct distance apart. Once BOTH bolts are finger started, you no longer need a wrench on top of the bolts.....only a ratchet on the bottom transforms this into a simple one tool job!

Joe Stef at B&amp;B Performance still builds and sells 'em. I've used them in all of my Camaros and Novas over the years.
