Even if the actual throttle bodies were junk you still might be able to use the casting with some sport bike throttle bodies

That would certainly NOT fit under the cowl of a F-body.

The fuel injector bungs look very far away from the valves.

I don't see a provision for an IAC which would need to feed all eight runners.

Looks neat tho.

I can't figure out where the tb linkage would be. That could be an issue as well as the injector placement

Just look at one of the Katech built powerplants under the hood of the C5/C6R road race Vettes to find out if they "work" or not (and those are all inlet restricted).

Just imagine what those engines would make TOTALLY un-restricted.

BTW; is OBX the Sino-made company which manufactures all of the Chinese stainless headers/y/x-pipes on fleabay??

^^^ I don't know how these in particular get enough cold air, but the road racing versions all have a plenum attached to each bank of stacks, fed by a 'snorkel' which draws in air from a high pressure area in the front airdam.

Granted I've never seen one myself, but I'm curious if it could be used to work with the 6LE shaker hood? Maybe? IDK, just a thought....

Looks like a cheap knock-off of lucas fuel injection. The c5r used lucas fuel injection,
its been around for awhile. Is mostly used for road racing.

That is not a bad price if the throttle linkage doesn't cost a arm and leg. But that would work and look good on my boat!!
