Installing an Edelbrock PRO- FLO 4 XT on a 440 (Lets open the Box)

Garage is kinda empty.. A friend has been dying to play with my Jag, so he is sorting out some **** on her..

Why don't the photos come thru? All I get is a circled dash mark.

I think I should be able to do the install this weekend. I moved the car into the shop last night and have all my parts ready to go. I picked up that Sceptre 2x 180° intake that was posted somewhere earlier and grabbed 2 Summit brand conical filters. I know I'll have to get creative with the water outlet and upper radiator hose. The only thing that may hold me up is if I have to machine the intake to match my heads. My block has been decked pretty hard and intakes are always tight. Sometimes wallowing the holes works, otherwise I have to machine the face. Heads are NOT coming off to have them done...

Anyone know off the top of their heads what the intake to intake face angle is on a 440? is it 45° per head for 90°?

Has anyone ever skipped the intake gasket and used something like UltraGrey or some fuel resistant silicone? I suspect the thermal expansion would cause a lot of movement and disturb a purely chemical seal. I'm tempted to machine the intake for LS style intake O-rings. The valley is blocked off with a 440Source valley tray.

Don't open up the intake bolt holes, the ports between the head and intake won't line up correctly. Mill the intake if you have to.

Got my Fiberglass hood, Fits nice, Just needs some tweaking

Looks good. How does it feel in terms of weight difference? Maybe half of the stock hood?
I don't remember if this was a bolt on design or to be used with pins.

It is a bolt on hood, but they recommend pins, so I am going to install some flush mount pins. Just for piece of mind..
Half the weight of the Steel hood.

So, how did you all deal with pedal throw? I am only able to get to 60% on the floor. I'm looking at welding an extension to the top of the lever where the cable hooks up.

Any long term updates on the proflo?

Been screwing with the Wagon, but I love it, the car fires right up and runs so awesome..

So with this Pro Flo 4 XT, do you still need an ignition box like an MSD or something or does the Pro Flo controller take care of that ??

The Pro-Flo takes care of everything. You can add a MSD box if disired, but not necessary..

What advantage would an MSD box have then ?

I don't see a need for using one anymore, with a good coil and Computer control, MSD is a bit old school. Was great when we had weaker spark systems..

Took the Car out for a 120 mile cruise for the Quarantine Cruise in Orange County, CA. Car ran flawless and never missed a beat.
2K RPM at 75MPH and actually got pretty decent MPG.

Looks like a Dakota Digital gauge panel.
Other than the gauges, what info are you using the LCD data panels to display?
