Looks like everything but the coil near plug coils has shipped. Once the injectors arrive the manifold conversion will start.

Are there any advantages to going with a fabricated/cast 4500 elbow and 105mm forward facing throttle body over the traditional 4500 carburetor flange mount throttle body? I would imagine the elbow would effectively increase the plenum volume/area but I’m all for being educated on the subject.

Hood clearance is a definite issue. I had to modify (bend) the current throttle bracket because it hit the hood when closed. I am gaining 1.2” of clearance going from the Victor to the Northwind though.
