I am actually running a MSD 8546 Pro Billet Distributor for Mopar raised blocks with almost all FAST components for EFI.  I just haven't gotten around to mounting the XFI unit yet and have been focused on some of the plumbing and getting the A/C components in the car to see how much room is available under the dash.  If I can't secure it nicely under the dash, I will look at putting in a false floor under the passenger's foot area.  I will have to work out the ventilation going that route.  Either way, there is a hole that will need to be cut in the firewall! 

The rest of the car hasn't changed much from this:

I just wish I could get mine looking that good.  I hope I can start to restore it soon.  Not sure when because funds are low.

Watch the pinion angle with the keisler setup and the hemi. What motor mounts are you using? I ran into a problem with the 5 speed keisler and the schumacher mounts.

I am running the Schmacher mounts as well.  It was the only way I could get this motor in the car without going to a motor plate.  Did you shim the rear, or transmission to correct the issue?

[hemi71]

You are the point now where you might be able to shim the trans mount. Hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like the motor is sitting a little low in the back. My problem was i could not shim the rear trans mount as the trans started hitting the floor before i could get the neccessary 1/2 inch shim in.

The keisler by itself is known to have problems, and sometimes so do the schumacher mounts...together they just compound the problem. I did have a hemi with the schumacher mounts and a 833 4 speed and that was fine. Only problem i had with that setup was the dipstick tube did not clear the mount, and had to be modified and the dipstick remarked...not a big deal.

BTW...engine/car looks GREAT!
