...You'd be looking at about ~800 for the updated parts to go from old Edelbrock kit to updated, as well as a few hours in labor. Unless you're mechanically inclined, I recommend you purchase the updated kit from the getgo, unless you have a 13-16 vehicle that doesn't need the updated design.

I asked because if it was mounted on a 2017, then I wouldn't worry at all about fitment. It doesn't help that there wasn't a change in part numbers for either the TIY kit, or the one that came with an Ecutek.

Regardless, if it's a complete/undamaged kit, it's a friggin steal.
The kit was ordered in 2018, not sure what that means, but I'll definitely reach out to Edelbrock and confirm if this is compatible with all model years, thanks.
