I removed the hood scoop and cut a piece of Lexon that fits the opening in the hood with a hole in it that lines up with the collar around the flame arrester then put the hood scoop back on.
this makes a noticeable improvement in HP.

My friend and I just started this project last Saturday .
He is going to send me a CAD rendering that I can post up .
The mounts will be similar to the ict mounts , but we designed them for BBC use .
I scoured the web , like I'm sure you did , for suitable mounts , but decided to make my own.
The only thing I found was Merc and Volvo 8.1 mounts and some Images of Keith Eickert stuff.
I hope to have something in a few weeks , ( I have a 632 build on hold till they are done! )

It is a Holley HP, sequential port injection, 2000 CFM throttle body and duel sync distributor. ( soon to be used for sensors and oil pump drive only ) I just bought the cap without plug wire posts.
I ABSOLUTELY love it.
This is a 598 CI engine with a big solid roller cam and it idles IN GEAR at 650 RPM ( but doesn't like it )
I have it set to idle at 700 RPM hot and it will do this until you run out of gas in gear without EVER touching the throttle.
and it starts every time with just a turn of the key.
The system was expensive but I believe it was worth it.
How many times have you pulled up to a dock and shifted into reverse and the engine kills.
This engine never even hardly falters during shifting.
I am thinking on changing to the Dominator computer for the ability to have an O2 sensor on each bank.
I ABSOLUTELY love it.

I am using the same set up on a new 632" build , here at the shop. That we are installing in a 26' American Offshore with a #5 drive . I would have liked to use a Crank Trigger set up , but
we have packaging issues. I debated long and hard about the dominator for the dual O2 , but the benefit didnt justify the cost.

That’s awesome man. I have to say since installing the Daytona’s I’ve never had an issue idling or shifting. I still have to finish tuning the carbs for perfection. I’m guessing without an oxygen sensor it’s not a self tuning system?

I have ONE O2 sensor in the port header. The ECU uses that to adjust the AF ratio for the whole engine.
With the Dominator ECU it uses an O2 sensor in both banks and averages the two to control AF ratio.
I had my alternator stop working for some unknown reason and the low voltage condition fouled out a plug on the port side. ( O2 sensor side )
This caused the ECU to enrich the entire engine to the point that it was missing badly. replaced the plugs and the problem went away.
