Norfmally means Small Block Chevy. Dunno what he is referring to. Maybe Subframe Connectors?

What do you spend on the throttle bodies before you port them, and what's your time worth? Compare said total to the cost of the subframe connectors new and you'll have your answer.

Well, those subframe connections are $260, so if you sell your tb's for more than that...there you go.
