6061 intake elbow: What all is needed??

Ok guys...well i should be ordering that 6061 intake some time next week (probably next weekend when im home). My question is...are there any "extra" pieces that need to be ordered or is an direct transplant of my trickflow?? Will all the sensors, cables and other things hook right up??

Jw i don't think i saw it mentioned on the MHS website.

Direct from MHS: "This hand crafted work of art allows use of your stock type 75mm throttle body, JLT or similar CAI, stock IAC, and stock throttle body cables with the Edelbrock intake manifold."

Looks like you don't need anything "extra" other than a 75mm TB.

It doesn't have any vacuum fittings on it, so start moving all your vacuum lines to the intake manifold now. No EGR as well. You need a 4 barrel carb gasket and the bolts for the elbow to the intake.

You wanna play you gotta pay. Its probably $10 for a vacuum tree and all the parts you need and a hour of your time.

There is no provision for the egr to bolt to on the 6061 elbow. Delete it if your area doesn't need it for emissions. If your required to have the egr then you'll need a provision welded to the elbow to bolt the egr to. All the vacuum lines that came off the stock plenum have to be put on the new elbow somewhere. Where they are is not that big of a deal. On there website it looks like its drilled/tapped for npt/barb fittings so use those.
