Motown intake EFI conversion Done. Were Stylin Now!

Just got a knock on the door. My favorite person. My UPS driver! My intake is back from www.Intakeelbows.com . I shipped it out the end of last month, and its back already. He does very nice work, I added a port for my AIT sensor. He said he didn't need to put a bung so he drilled and tapped it for ZIP! It was 408.25 shipped back to me with the polished rails. What a deal, my camara work needs alittle help.
Here's what I sent him



Here's the finnished intake.






He used my injectors to make the rail hieght.

Nice!

Looks good and sweet on the freebie AIT port

Looks awesome! that sucker's gonna flow some air, looks like the 4500 version. Cant wait to see it with the throttlebody on it

I think I might have the rails anodized black. We'll se how mu funds are going. Here is a couple of pictures of the maniold with the Throttle body sitting on top of it. I'm going to either need a small spacer or work on the linkage, it touching the fuel rail.
Here it is.




I had a tuff time sleeping last night my wife thinks it from having the intake in bed under my pillow. NOT!

very cool !! With the spacer to clear your linkage you may have to put the air filter through the top of the cowl hood- remember the 70s

Just an FYI, the Accel website has that same manifold and throttle body ready to install with rails etc. They are good manifolds, should work well.

BTW that's a big throttle body, whats your engine combo?

Thats the intake that was on the motor from World products. The motor is there Hardcore 454 small block. Its got 220 runner heads with a 2.125 intake valve. It came with a 1050 Dominator that I figured would be a pain on the street so I'm making the swap to Fast XFI set up. I'm going to run 50 lb injectors. This TB should work out fine as I read many time itts not like a carb, you cant over flow it with cfm's because the ECU controls the fuel to match air flow.
Rich your right its going to be a pain with the linkage. I may have to give you a shout, and by the way my wife says I'm stuck in the 70's. I don't know why those platform shoes and plad pants are bound to come back in style. lol

Not really, I gaurantee you you'll have better throttle response with a smaller TB. If it had a 1050 on it why are you going to run a 1600 or 2000 cfm throttle body? Do you plan on picking up 30% more power? Probably not huh. Not trying to be a jerk, just giving you some real world experiences. Plus the ECM will just mantain the programmed Air/Fuel, doesn't have anything to do with airflow velocity, and unless you're making over 650 hp, 50# injectors are way too big. I made 620 on a 427W with 42's no problem. I'd also recommend going sequential if you're not already. That will help low rpm throttle response as well.

BTW, have you bought your FAST setup already?

[GregWeld]

Good advice.

My 427 sbc ran Canfield 220 heads -- and used 42# injectors...
