All I'd really need to do is find a decent carb to stick on top of that (and an EGR block-off spacer... *grumble grumble stupid Ford emissions*) and I'd be mostly set. I also have the dual-snorkel air filter "banjo" box from said Capri to put on top.Been thinking about one of those distributors Summit has that allows one to use an HEI setup similar to the Chevy design in the early 80's with the coil on top, only one wire instead of the Ford control box and harness. One of the guys I know through work did that with his son's '97 Mustang and it works great.Carb'd would be a LOT easier to install and get running, since I don't need all the sensors and what-not. The only thing that's making me want to keep the EFI setup is because it's already assembled, complete, and ready to drop in that way... I just have a hard time deciding which way I want to go.</blockquote>
