you really need the elbow to route the tubbing properly and to not have a huge toaster mounted on top ofyour hood

I don't need the elbow to mount the TB, I was just going to make an CAI that had the bend in it.

RE: Intake question Edlelbrock Victor JR
Don't use the carburetor "rpm ranges"....they are not applicable to EFI setups, there is no fuel suspended on the air, the TB is just an air valve. You could set a 4-barrel TB on the intake, if they used EEC-IV compatible TPS and IAC, nothing that is not "workable".....but it'll take some customizing.

Also, do you know of any TB I could use?

RE: Intake question Edlelbrock Victor JR
Don't look at the "rpm range", if you really want to do an "old-school" looking setup and set it right, all you need is a way to make it work. Will it run?......ohh yeah!.... but you also need to plan/provide for the other components that will make it work... it's not just an intake/TB setup that will define the rpm range...... need to add the heads + cam (obviously, you know I will reco a custom from CI), and a Tweecer would make tuning it (from 1300-xxxx rpms) a breeze.... now you really have a custom setup.

You have a link to one of those TB's? Either that or I am going to make an adaptor for my current TB to mount on an intake.

The intake is just the first step...lets not get ahead of me...although I like your thinking

4 brl TB install on mine.
The TPS will wire up easy.
The GM style IAC will give headaches cause it is ground controlled
vs. positive voltage control like the Ford is. At least that was my understanding.
We made it work, but I have an AEM computer, with aux. defineable inputs/outputs
Just get the Edlebrock Vic. Jr. with injector ports already in.
Only cost about $70 more than the carb version with no injector ports.
Edlebrock makes $80 matching fuel rails too.
