I would like to put together an 8 stack for an old school '55 chevy... Is there any legit reason why most IDF kits are $3k+?
The manifold sells for ~$700 and the carbs are $250 new. Thats $1700. So what am I missing besides linkage, fuel lines and some kind of vacuum plenum?
 
Beauty tax? Seriously, I never understood how they could justify the cost of those. They are truly beautiful and will pop your eyes out of your head when you pop the hood, but the induction system should not cost as much as a mild crate motor.
