This is for my 1961 LS swap. Obviously it will be tuned for open loop and no MAF. But for the open loop guys, it would be pretty cool to open your hood and see a nostalgic open filter.

I haven't been successful in finding a adapter for a 4150 flange to the stock 3 bolt TB. You can find elbows but those take away from the nostalgic look of an old truck and that's not the look I want. Also, if you have a cable throttle, you can get accufab Tb to achieve the look but leaving the DBW guys left out. I want to be able to retain a semi stock look and an older air cleaner. I know i will have to modify the bottom of the air cleaner assy to accommodate for the smaller hole and DBW motor but, nothing some steel and a welder can't handle.

pretty cool idea

 

I like it.

 

I want one! Thats a great idea and should work with a boosted setup too

 

I can try to get the specs and program from the machinist, if anyone is interested. He made it fo me for some diet orange crush soda. Great guy.

 

Ill be the one to bring a post back up from 10 years ago. but would you happen to have any feedback on this set up?
I am about to build a 5.3 for my wifes 51 and it will be dbw.

 

His last login was actually 2/1/2022 so he might resond

Love it! Would like to hear how it turned out.

 

Not on here much anymore. It turned out and works great. Never did get the program from the guy though.
