Thanks Russ,

No argument from me. I'm with you in that regard. I guess the farthest one would go would be the fuel injection rail that kinda "looks like" a Weber stack line but offer the reliability and modern technology of fuel injection. Not my cup of tea, however, and too much money.

I completed a concours restoration on a 1967 Austin Mini Cooper S a few years ago, and I overbored it .40 over, installed a slightly lumpy street cam, high-lift roller rockers, and a hidden Pertronix optical ignition inside the stock distributor. She also has 2.5" rampipes inside a stock airbox with K&N filters in them. She wins most all the concours British car show events she attends for originality and accuracy; but occasionally, I've stuck a set of Hoosier slicks on her and kicked arse in the Autocross circuit.

US Customs has my box right now. I just got a message from Fedex and they say it's awaiting release. They must think it's an Al Queda package with some fancy detonating circuits coming to the US. I may have to wait the weekend before installing.
