The 455" is out of my old 1972 GTO. I haven't decided if I will use it. I may use a 1969 4-bolt 428" block out of an old Bonneville I stripped many years ago.

I am currently converting a Doug Nash Warrior tunnel ram to EFI, and I have sold my 72# injectors to buy some 83# units. I am running Eagle rods and a stock nodular iron crank w/billet main caps. I have had the heads laying around for a while. They are left over from an older project car. They have been fully race-ported and have completed reshaped combustion chambers. The camshaft is a custom Ultradyne hydraulic roller w/turbo specs. I have some headers mocked up, and might finish TIG-welding them this winter. Turbos are good to go! I am running the new Accel/DFI Gen 7.0 unit w/wideband O2. The intercooler is the same unit as built for my recent SBC turbo car, but we have changed endtanks and added 3" outlets instead of the previous 2.5" units. Throttle bodies are Holley billet 75mm units. Same fuel system from last car: 2 S/X pumps w/ -8AN lines, single -8AN return line. Trans is a TH400 w/reverse pattern, brake, and Art Carr 4000 stall converter. Exhaust is 3" stainless downpipes in to a single 4" Spintech muffler. I will be running the same Spohn suspension as the last car, with the exception of the tubular K-member, 4-cylinder swaybars, and Koni drag shocks.

I have done the Poncho-in-to-3rd gen swap before, and this will be a breeze due to the motor plate we are using instead of old 2nd gen T/A stock mounts.

Unfortunately, I do not have the linkage for the throttle bodies. We weren't sure how the throttle bodies would fit on my plenum, so we didn't order any linkage in case we had to make our own. The linkage can still be purchased from TWM. The standard GM TPS is used.

Thanks, dude!

32 and I feel like 18. You can never go too fast, young Jedi.

I am thinking of ditching the Supra for a 1995 R33 Skyline V-spec. I found one in Australia for $25,000 US. It costs $17,000 to make it US-legal, but whatever!

I have seen a similar set up where the builder opted for putting the Throttle bodies on each side of the plenum instead of in front for a race (nonintercooled) system, also you list this: Holley Dominator EFI-converted tunnel ram for SBC $400 w/rails
TWM 75mm throttle bodies w/2 extra injector ports and rails $250 each
Spearco T3-flanged cast iron twin-turbo manifolds $500 My question is, does or did "spearco make cast iron exhaust manifolds?

Yes, they did. Their old company logo is cast in to the side of each manifold...
