So much for the Modman....

The one thing about factory intakes is that I never cared for the forward throttle body look in an old car. They were never set up to have plumbing run up there and it just makes it look a little out of place. I know it's a minor gripe and largely irrelevant, but it's the one thing about modern engines in old cars that always gets me. You have a nice clean install and then just a huge pipe that just doesn't look like it belongs.

Funny, and I'm not trying to be critical just a different perspective. I never understood why someone would take the time, effort, and money to install a modern engine in a classic car and then turn around and try to make it look old. I find it funny that people spend money to remove Coil on Plugs (what could be more efficient?) and replace it with a bunch of wires. But in the final analysis that is what makes the hobby great, a bunch of guys with their own vision trying to bring it to life.

My goal for my car is to make it look as much like a sleeper as possible. There will be telltale clues as to the cars true purpose, like a mini tub with 12" of meat under the rear wheels. Four wheel disc brakes that will be seen though the slots in the steel wheels. But from the outside, from the stock flat hood, to the factory sterring wheel and factory dash and seats, the car should look like a nicely done LA motored car, nice but nothing to really write home about. Until you lift the hood. Than 500 HP of Hemi is staring at you in the face.
