and i was wondering whats the pros and cons of downs?
and the pros and cons of sides?

with downdrafts, the charge has to change direction before it can enter the cylinder.
So they aren't quite as performance as sidies. They still work well and sound good though.

the cost me a12 good deal??? they hav never been used and is there any other pros and cons

In dunno if you can get an off the shelf manifold for them, so I guess that would be a con.

Con: they dont look as cool
Pro: you can keep it looking original under the hood...but with more power, sleeper

not much angle it will upset float levels

Are you gonna remove the efi in favour of carbs Toby?
I'd stick with the EFI if I were you. Plus it makes the implimentation of forced induction easier later on.

ha thats the first thing that went in the bin

[DylPhil7]

what did you do with the efi????
