If I change hoods it'll be a long ways off, but I do agree it would save a ton of weight. I am thinking eventually I'll get an aftermarket engine cross member that'll save me some weight. This summer I'll switch the front end to disc brakes, and will probably get tubular A-arms at the same time. For now, I'll use the 4.56 gears to my advantage =P
Today I got the idle control valve setup by using a plate of aluminum and drilled and threaded it directly to the original PCV port that goes into the intake plenum, then had a 90º fitting on it with a hose going straight up to the air filter housing. Which I drilled a hole in the housing, inserted a rubber grommet and a hose barb. It is an early 90's Ford 5.0 valve.
