That scares me a little. I said that once on a converted bike motor and had an engine fire shorty thereafter. Please keep an eye on them.
Scares me a lot. Done too many Design Failure Mode Analysis (DFMEA) as my day job.
Although it may be snug now, seals age, shrink, and harden.
Backfire potential can put significant pressure behind them to push them out. Yeah agree that intake vacuum is normally sucking them in. Also agree you shouldn’t get backfire with EFI . . . . But real world is different
Vibration is always a concern - 6000 rpm has a way of doing funky things.
Thermal expansion of the MFI adapters when hot will lessen the snugness as will the seals themselves as they heat up and become more pliable.
I love this EFI concept; gotta be a way to do a positive retention. Maybe off carb manifold or even off valve covers?
Your car is too beautiful to lose it to an engine fire.
