Default DBW Edelbrock 1000cfm 4bbl TB?

Anybody know if Edelbrock has plans to make a DBW 4bbl TB like the cable driven one? Or does Wilson or somebody out there?

I really don't want to convert mine to cable, but want to do the Vic Jr again. This time with a 4bbl TB on it vice an elbow and a 90mm blade TB.

Why not just fabricate a base for a 14" air cleaner using the 90mm? That's what I have mocked up for mine...

I dont see someone making somehting like that simply because there's not enough market for them... the cable ones sell but the DBW pieces arent going to catch on... JMHO...

have you looked into the 105mm TB's??

I thought about that but I'm not convinced that's the best way to get air into a blade TB.

I cant remember who made it... you wont need a 1000cfm TB on a 370 dude... its just not necessary, even with your heads and cam... 90mm will be all you need.

It's not drive by wire (DBW) and he doesn't want to convert to cable driven throttle body.

I'll be making a fiberglass base for mine to smooth the air flow. I've got a bunch of "wing" shape pieces of wood cut out that I will make the mold out of. Quick scetch in paint of what I'm talking about doing...
