I don't remember Edlbrock making them for the LA V8 motors though That may be a Mopar race only piece from the Trans Am road racing series of old Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

The pipe plugs at the back of the intake, could be used for a few things but what they could be used for legally I don't know. You could plump NO2 & fuel through there with a nozzle right over each port. LAMO, I really just don't know... but I like the idea since it would be decently hidden. Or could be.

That plenum is huge, must have been a high-winding effort? Here is a pic of an Edelbrock STR 12 for reference. Totally different base. '71 Duster '72 Challenger '17 Ram 1500

Just ordered the extra long connecting rods today (6.298" versus 6.123" stock). Still need the 2.96" de-stroked crank (versus 3.31" stock), going run about $3000 for a billet one.
