Update
Finally got the last big peice of this jigsaw puzzle. The 45mm dcoe style throttle bodies from Jenvey arrived. In 88mm length.
This equals just over 1.5 inches shorter than the carbs.
I'll need to order fuel rail, and make a custom fuel rail. 24 inch long peice and some weld bungs should do the trick.
These are a beautiful peice of equipment, and substantially lighter than the carbs, the seller set the linkage between them and installed the Tps. Combined with the shaft mounted linkage that's on the intake manifold currently creates a nice package, and should provide a decent throttle cable path.
My original plan was to use a borla efi throttle, not jenvey. However, there was one key diffrence which was my deciding factor. The jenvy units stated that when used with a pico injector, that the fuel rail would sit inside the height of the throttle body. The borla units did not, which would require an extension to clear air cleaners. Space is a premium and required the switch up. I wish the jenvys units came raw, as the aluminum i think would look nicer- and more period.
For those that haven't seen the car, I built it to look stock. Yet several aspects of the car are modified and I've been mistook for a stock car. Under the hood was originally built with this in mind(interior is built this way as well). I had a blue " powered by ford" cover (as seen in a few photos), and stock air cleaner modified for the 4bbl base. I switched later to the finned cover, and air cleaner. But otherwise under the hood is stock ish. Wilwood master and a champion radiator are the only 2 give aways. My hope is to build this setup in a similarly clean and stockish appearance(Oem+). Nice neat wiring, and clean routing of everything. Hardlines when possible.(I like bending lines, yes I know I'm weird).
I've got an idea for gathering a map sensor reading, involving a block and hardlines similar to a nitrous setup. Still working on pcv and idle air. The throttle bodies have an idle bleed that I may need to block if using an IAC.
I'll try and keep things updated here as the project moves along. Its nearing spring and ive been without "Sunshine" for almost a year due to outside activity's. Like rebuilding the daily's hemi... grumble grumble--stupid lifters- grumble...
