Great Progress!
What is your thinking on not using inner fenders?

That looks really good. Very clean and professional.
I think you will find that intake elbow on top of the carb to be restrictive. I built one similar for a stockish .305 and ended up ditching it because it choked out the engine at mid-upper rpm. Cant even imagine if I tried to put it on a 350 with some performance improvements.

MrD. You are right. I have read the articles/reviews on this carb plunium. With my 600cfm carb and 273 rear gears, I won't be hitting over 4,000 rpm very often. Nothing that can't be changed if needed. Thanks for the input.

I get it- why hide all the beauty you created? BUT, you'll rue the day you drive through a mud puddle.

So you went with a shorter radiator to allow for the Air Filter box? In the pic it looks shorter but I could be wrong.
