All plastic? You'd need to get the runners and a lower intake to match. Seem a little too massive. Forget about it.

I actually came across that Saturday night(I'm always looking for cheap parts on EBay - for one project or another). I kinda wonder what inspired the manufacturer -MRP- to produce that plenum and if it was intended for use on an operational motor?

MRP was a company that offered high performance aftermarket composite pieces for the GM TPI. I had totally forgotten about them until I saw this post. I believe the reason for composite was cost and the thermal
advantage of the plastic. It doesn't get hot! It's not a bad buy for $40 or $50.

HiTech5,
I've actually been trying to acquire an early-style plenum from EBAy or other auction sites. But I wanted to get it cheap enough that ruining it during testing and/or modding wouldn't make me feel guilty for intentionally wasting money. The fact that this item has a removable top makes the likelihood of ruining it less.
Do you have any contact info on MRP. I tried at 4 search engines, and the only viable company I came up with was "MRP Racing", but invariably the link was broken. I'd like to know if they still offer this piece(or a version of it) and what price they charge for it(so I can put in an intelligent bid in for it at EBay).
Any info you could supply would be most appreciated.

I believe that MRP has gone out of business. Without having the plenum in your hand to tell exactly the condition,don't go higher that $75.00
