    Did you use the 383-400B style tunnel ram or the 413-440RB style with your adapter plates? I have a set of the raised port Evans adapters and a RB style Weiand tunnel ram for the race motor I am collecting parts for. Mine will eventually have the stage 3 T/A heads (when $ permits) and a 308S cam. I want to set a couple of 90mm throttle bodies on top of the tunnel ram and plumb it for EFI as well, running E-85 for fuel. Still doing more dreaming than building at this point, but I am slowly getting the parts together.
    Your Nova is a great looking ride!
