I did not know Mickey Thompson made such a crossram for the 289, much less that is was for 58mm webers. About time that little piece of information made it to my synapses. I've seen that setup before and always assumed it was two of these adapters on a 2x4 intake
1) As for the 351C crossram, I can only point you towards
Australian Muscle Parts

California Distribution phone number - 562-428-9764
Don't know if they're still in business or if that version is still produced. A lot of stuff sticks around on the web long after it's gone in real life. It IS for a 351C though.
2) Use whatever you want. It all depends on YOUR engine combination and projected usage. I've personally always liked the BXR, just for looks. It does need either DIS or a front drive distributor. Reading the comment above about the Ford EDIS, I am apparently seriously behind the times, because I did not know the EDIS was controllable by any other ECM other than Ford's own EECxx boxes.
As for injected crossrams. It's all a big moot point nowadays as even the factory 5.0 injection manifolds are basically crossrams; they have the long runners and deal with transition with injectors mounted at the ports. They're taller than the cleveland and mocked up windsor versions, and that's for the reasons already mentioned: valve cover clearance and simple access to injectors mounted at the ports instead of on top of the runners.
But the mock up is for a DCOE crossram, and it's about time.
