[DeTomaso] Pantera EFI question from car on Hemmings.com

[JDeRyke at aol.com]

Those cross-ram intakes are almost always set up for Weber DCOE throttle 
spacings, and are and always have been rare & outrageously expensive. The 
sky-high price is why Ron Wade and I, and likely other guys too, built our own 
(mine are not yet finished after 15 yrs of off-and-on fiddling). They will 
fit under the Pantera engine screen but have never gotten popular and at the 
price, never will. With side-draft EFI, they would likely work OK, but with 
Webers, the blow-back pulses that carry fuel outward tends to sgas-oak the 
air cleaner bottoms, then excess fuel drips down onto the engine..... and the 
headers.... I have a new-in-box set of 48 DCOEs and maybe this is why I 
haven't moved this project further up my 'bucket-list'. FWIW- J Deryke
