Not a machinist or tool and die kind of guy. The Molds (?) are done, the mock up was perfect, but none of the tanks have been "set" yet. All I can say at this point, mounts like the original only manufactured for s 351. (Will it fit a "302". 5.0? I only think it will but not sure yet?

That's the reason for the poll. To find out if there is enough interest to go to the next step. Then of course the first production run will be fairly small to see if there really is a market like I think there would be.

I have mounted the stock tanks to a 351 but the labor is extremely intensive!
(For guys that have a small but ongoing and nagging overheating problem, this set up could be a dream!)

I have seen this Mom & Pop's custom made low plane, level dual quad set ups. Their manifolds are awesome. He even molds/cast in the runner (free option) #'s like Ford used to! From Trips to the 4 degree off set that some cars need to make the carb(s) level, to dual quad hi-rises, their work is honestly immaculate!

In fact, any day now I expect to take deliver of a low plane - flat manifold with twin Holley 475's, custom fuel log and exact original style throttle linkage. (He modifies each and every Holley, bench/flows each one and matches both to operate as one!) Just darned impressive!

This is going on a LoneStar Cobra I am building with a Ford Racing 351/427.
