Wow!

Is that some kind of mechanical fuel injection system strapped to the cam cover?

More pics here - can anyone see how the throttle works? Can't see butterflies or sliders...

Cool bit of kit!

Given where the linkage sits, the large rectangular housing the trumpets sit on, and the springs running along the top of it, I wonder if there’s a slide throttle in there.

Im sure it’s a fantastic classic motorsport engine package, but what a way to make a fantastic looking, classic engine start to look like the modern “white goods” Ecoboosts of the world! :p :d

Feel I should point out Ecoboost owners have got feelings! Even if our engines our modern engines are possibly "visually challenged" ;).

Defintely a slider on there Chris. i am sure the DFV used a similar injection system. Mechanical fuel injection was same as the kugelfisher sp ? system potentially if not the same.
