Came across this today and figured some on here might be interested. I'm honestly surprised that Edelbrock would be doing this for the 4.0L.

They are making them for the 4.0L but they will not be available until early 2015.

Yes I will have them available on my site.

The V-8 market is much bigger and offers better margins.

No, but it's a safe bet that they won't be cheap.
I'm doubtful that I'll sell many of of 'em...if any at all.

It says half price of the others.
I think a hesco is like 2000 can't recall and i can't recall Clearwaters price.
If its anywhere near half of that I think there will be a ton of orders but I think that is wishful thinking.

I'm concerned the price/performance gain won't be feasible.
