Default Guess what came in the Mail Part II.!!!!

YESSS! The new Trick Flow Street intake come in the mail today from StangTangGT in Florida!! It looks sooooo awesome! I can't wait to install them with my new 1.7 Roller rockers.

I have a question! It says in the instructions that you will need an adapter plate if using the stock 58MM T/B.. Well I have a 91 so it is a 60MM T/B.. So does that mean it will work with the stock EGR plate, and T/B?? If anyone knows let me know!!! I got a 150$ bonus today too, so I am in the market for a 65mm T/B and EGR spacer. Chris?

Yes it is a 75MM opening.. I am getting the 65 because I am getting both the TB and the spacer for under 100 bux! Connections are the greatest, If I need a bigger one later, then I will get a new one, I can sell this one again, and buy a new one, it will still be worth it for now! No I found out today that I dont need the spacer to use my stock 60MM tb... Only if you have one of the older cars with the 58MM TB... I am getting my 1.7's on monday and will be installing them..

A question came up the other day, will the Crane 1.7 Roller rockers clear my stock valve covers.. I Hear that on my 91 GT they will.. Anyone have any input? or this set up??

1.7 RR will not fit under the stock valve covers

They will only fit if you cut out the oil baffle or buy cobra valve covers
