That one want work...its for a Corvette with a DBW TB.

MBA made the TB Cover years ago but obviously not anymore. They are very hard to find these days and I am sure no new ones exist. Just watch the classifieds and ebay and maybe you will get lucky.

Billet cut piece, therefore, it is going to be big $$$. It could be done, but it wouldn't be cheap.

Yeah, its not a flat piece of bent metal...its cut from billet. I think new back then they were like $250...but dont quote me on that because I cant remember for sure. Thats probably why theres not many of them out there to start with.
