If the aftermarket ttb has the same four bolts holes as the factory 90 units it'll fit.

I'd really like to see someone give it a try. I think it has some potential especially on a stroker 402.

hmmmm.... well now I'm interested, maybe I'll be the dummy. I'd like to incorporate a ram air hood into it though.

I made a few pieces. A couple of them are blems (cosmetic). Let me know if you'd like one.

Thanks Grip! See what you started?????
I'm just trying to give guys some more options to get around the plastic truck intakes. I have no earthly idea if this will practically work, however on paper it should make a great setup especially for FI applications. I doubt it will fit under the hood of a car, but it was originally designed for trucks anyways.

Here's to ya friend

Do it man. I can hook you up with a step by step up to the TB You should definitely do the ram air thing. The hood I bought would work great... you could just do a big sheet metal pan attached to a hood with a K&N in the snout of the scoop and some sealer around the TB... Man I wish I was closer to you. I'd make you the box lol.

Richard,

I was hoping you might share some insight on the quoted stuff below? I don't really understand it all.

what do you expect the benefit to be from having less volume in the intake? Better (faster) throttle response? I didn't measure the volume on mine... but it has been said elsewhere on the forums that the following intakes have these plenum volumes:

LS1 5.06 L
LS6 5.19 L
Truck 4.00L
Edelbrock Vic Jr ?????

What do you think?

On my install, I haven't noted any softer pedal feel... but I have what is probably a fairly soft combo anyway... 402, AFR225's, 3000 stall yank, HEAVY *** truck, turbo cam, etc. I know that elbow adds a lot of plenum volume!
