that GRA setup looks like total s**t.....looks like a crappy old single barrel where a holly 750 should be...youd need a twin gra setup to get maximum airflow ....of course depends on what your future intentions are...

would be better keeping the efi manifolds and running that GRA with it, that way u get duel fuel


impco 425 would suit it better...(if its just a stock to mild streeter)

BTW why have u relocated your overflow bottle?

Different setup there Dave. Will be interesting to see how the GRA goes as I have been thinking about getting it for the Maverick.

Wanna sell the 425?

Saw this today on my way to Pick and Payless, Must say very impressed, and it seemed to have changed the exhaust note, was a lot deeper than before. Now get the TPS sorted and it will be sweet.
