I finally made up my mind on the injection bases . They will mount to the intake surface of the heads leaving the lifter valley cover exposed . The AMT metal stacks are too tall for this car so I'll make some out of 3/32 tube . Everyone have have a wonderful Thanksgiving .

Now those are cool Jeff.  I really like how you did those and know the bit of effort that it took to make them even more so considering their size.   VERY nice.  Cheers, Tim

Thank you Joao and Tim , I use a Bridgeport with X Y nc programs . The bases were too large , downsized and made new parts . no big deal , gave the first ones to a friend .

You might google fuel injected Y block Fords....The heads have unusual intake porting...stacked instead of inline as you have them.

not a big deal but it surprised me when I researched Hilborn injected Y-blocks.

add...google "Battle bird"  Thunderbird.

Got the new smaller base pieces done , finished the intricate porting for the over under intake ports . I made stacks out of K&S 3/32 tube . No they are not rivets . Slowly getting there . 

Thanks for looking in Jeff .

Closer now , one bite at a time . I turned some mufflers and used 3/32 solder for the pipes . 

Thanks again Jeff .
