Default Question For Those Using Victor Series Intake On Lt1??

I might be using a Victor E series EFI intake (part # 29785) on my 396 LT1. I have to have a forward facing t-body. What kind of 90 degree elbow are you guys using to come off the intake and face forward for the t-body?

Thanks

Tony

Race Proven Motors sells the PTE 100 Degree 4150 Flange / 90mm for $159 and the 90 Degree version for $179.

Race Proven Motors

Turbo Performance Systems sells the PTE 4150 Flange / 90 Degree / 90mm for $165.

Turbo Performance Systems

Those are the best prices I have found on my own searching so far.

If you are looking for a 90mm throttle body I will make you a great deal on a brand new Wilson Billet 90mm throtte body.

Also, Wilsons Manifolds sells them. I'm running a Acufab 4B TB. I thought about the 90 degree elbow when first doing this, but changed my mine about ten times and just went with what I'm running now.

The Wilson elbow is a PTE.

Removing the water crossover / thermostat housing is just too slick. Who did that and the EFI conversion?

Nobody does at the moment, but it's being worked on.

I have seen a couple, but I don't remember where. They were essentially one-offs custom fabricated out of sheetmetal.

Love that Honda Mini Trail in the background of that pic. I had one of those when I was 9.
