Default lq9, ls3 heads, 68 firebird whats need for intake?

So I have an lq9 with ls3 heads. It has 99 f-body accessories. I'd like to fuel injected an purchase a pontiac GTO intake but I need it to be cable driven. are there any instructions on what would be needed to make the intake cable driven with a map sensor, etc. In another thread it looks like there is a throttle body cable mount (~$70) and a 90mm throttle body (didn't specify who's) but is there anything else I need assuming its a take off intake from a boneyard? Any help would be appreciated....

If I were you I'd run a stock ls3 intake with a Holley cable 90mm...cheapest way would be to find an intake someone took off in order to change to a fast intake...

I think all the LS3 heads are rectangle port, and LS1,2,6 cathedral port.
Buy a used LS3 intake, rail, injectors. Find a 4 bolt cable TB on ebay.

Like stated before, just purchase a complete LS3 intake setup that is usually available as "take offs" when the owners setup to a Fast or supercharger

Average prices are $350 for a LS3 intake manifold w/ stock rails and injectors, most don't include the map sensor (which they usually reuse)

depending on what harness you are using, you may need a map sensor extension harness, since the LS3 map is in front

Buy a quality cable style tb and Holley offers the conversion throttle cable bracket to run a cable style tb on the LS3 intake (part# 20-139)
