Very nice!!

That's a slick little fuel block, looks like it says Jegs on it

Is that a Jegs part? Or a modified part?

very nice.... one of the cleanest bays i have seen ever....

I've got two questions.... One is the throttle bracket you are using on that thing. I've seen that before and I"m wondering where you got it. I'm using an accufab 4150 throttle body and i'm either going to have to fab up a bracket or buy something like that for my 383 LT1....

The other question is did you buy something to allow you to turn the throttle body sideways????? Cause mine only fits one way and that is with the throttle arm on the side.....

Thanks for any info and again sweet ride...

I really like how all the wiring is hidden. That looks like it took a lot of time. What's the bottle mounted in the front for? Chutes / fire system?

Is that a 4500 style T.B. adapted to the intake?

Sorry about not responding earlier, I forgot to check back with the post

Anyway, the bracket came from Jegs and it a "Jegs" brand polished cable bracket. They have several different cable options to get, but mine was setup for a Lokar style throttle cable. The part number on mine is 555-15147, BUT that is for a 4500 (Dominator Flange) style setup.

As for turning the TB sideways, it doesnt matter which way you have it rotated, it will still work. I didnt buy anything and I didnt change anything. I just rotated it so the cable bracket is on the front as there wasnt enough room with the cowl if I had it sitting the normal way on the side.

Are you sure yours only fits one way?

Anything else let me know...and I will repsond quicker this time

Yes, that is a 4500 style T.B. on a 4150 style intake. It has a 2" aluminum adapter that goes from a 4150 on the bottom to a 4500 on the top. Works pretty good I might add


The car is currently getting at a shop getting the BS3 tune finalized right now


Thanks for the compliments so far

cool thanks for the info man.....

i'm pretty sure that my TB fits only one way but then again mine is 4150 and not 4500.... 4500 might go either way since it seems to look more square than 4150....
