Hi Tony,
I am already having a few manifolds cast here in SL and I've just bought a
few Ford/Chevy small and big block manifolds to use as templates for some
EFI manifolds. Let me know the max height above the top manifold bolts and I
can try to do a few with a nice "tiger" motif. Do you want single throttle
body or one per cyl? (see http://www.unikracing.com/ for some nice multi TB
setups.)
I have a mustang 5.0 EFI manifold here. How much too high is this? Any other
differences between this and the old 289 manifold? It would be easy to make
a shorter version with a tiger motif and if I get about ten orders the
pattern cost will be spread (I'll take one so we just need a few more.)
Price will be under $500 if we have to do top and bottom sections, half if
we only have to do top section. We will lose some of the ram effect with the
shorter runners but this should not be too much.
Anyone have the "tiger" script as a CAD file as this would save some time.
cheers, derek

Dr.M- I have an interest in using efi as I have been
told there is a Tiger running around Ca. that has it
installed- last report I had, he was at the CAT Dyno
Days event but I havent been able to chase him down.
Besides the unrestored Tigers I own I also have an
Alger and thought it would be the best canidate, then
I could put fewer miles on the Mk1 and use the Alger
as a daily driver. Im told edelbrock makes a low
profile intake for fuel injection. I know many owners
want to maintain a stock look and I understand their
thoughts but since the car I hope to use as a daily
driver will be an Alger in reality, Im not concerned
with stock looks but gas milage and performance would
improve.If someone does come up with an EFI syestem
that doesnt require a large hood scoop. Thanks for
passing along the site, it might well be cheaper than
the edelbrock setup- Im interested in learning more.
warmest regards, Tony in Il.
