I found my msd in a junkyard, gambled 50 bucks, funny how stuff works better when you hook it up right. I made an air filter mount from 3in tailpipe,to fit 2 of the ricer style cone filters, and a bracket to support the washer/ coolant tank. Two filters cost about $30, the metal about ten.

For my 300? I've had no luck. I've searched high and low. But I might have to fab one up when I find a totaled f250 and salvage parts off that now as for a 351w I got this:

Have you checked paxton for chargers? Shelby used them on the old Mustangs. The unit mounts like an a/c compressor and is belt driven. Then a tube runs the air to the intake like a turbo. They make universal kits and it shouldn't be too hard to fab an intake. Don't know anything about price though.

Ok, have you had any problems like changing the headers again. Is it for just sound or performance. And does any one know about hi ram manifolds

I did shorty headers on my 5.0. I noticed a bit better throttle response. I'm still working on getting hard numbers for mpg, but along with the 3" cat back, the better flow should increase numbers all around. I had to modify the oil dipstick and intake brace, and it was a hitch gettin the wrench in a few places. I would recommend header bolts with Allen heads. Other than that everything was smooth.
