Well it took a long time, but I eventually selected and purchased a nice Aeroflow throttle body recently and sure enough...more mods needed to make it fit. Fabricator man just dropped by tonight to measure up a new 45 degree bend addition and has taken the intake assembly away again. Got a couple of pics while he was here...
