you don't want an EFI fuel pump - Webers like less than 4psi fuel pressure. You want high volume, not high pressure. There's also no need for a rising rate reg with a drawthru setup.

This is grouse!
Nice pick up L18, some good info!

Would you put prices on all of the DIY stuff Chris? Roughly, just out of curiosity, I have some idea but I'd be interested to see a total build cost from scratch!

Nice work, will this be going into a car, is sow what?

Looks really neat all round
plenum might be a bit big

Looks like a single Downdraft Stromberg with one of these filters
can also fit with heaps of room left over.

Yeah I agree the plenum can be smaller.

Here is how the adapter looks:

Top work there.
Have you done measurements to see if she fits in the engine bay?
A good DIY job is great to look at and get the mind ticking. Looking forward to you posting a vid or pictures of the install
