Right now it's installed in a '87 Monte Carlo SS.

I just finished up a TPI swap in this car last summer using a stock TPI setup and a SD Howell Harness with a '730 ECM, and then decided to try out the FIRST this year as my motor was being choked above 4000 RPMS with the stock TPI.

Bump. Back up for sale and being pulled in the next few weeks.

Bump. Off the car and ready to be shipped out!


The intake manifold still has a little bit of RTV on it as I didn't want to get too aggressive in scraping it off, but the mounting surfaces are 95% clean of the old gaskets and RTV. Also, I modified the throttle cable bracket by tacking on two extensions as my stock TV cable wasn't long enough, but they're easily removable if need be, although anyone running a stock TV cable will probably have the same issue. Otherwise everything looks as it does in the photos of it installed above.


Updated pictures will be posted hopefully tonight, but the intake is in close to new condition.

Can I ask why you're getting rid of it?

I’ve got new motor plans that the Stealth Ram would be better suited for, so I’m regretfully selling the FIRST to pay for the Stealth Ram. I do love the long tube runner look, but it’s function over form.

Bump. Would also consider trades for a Vortec HSR plus cash, although I'd prefer a local sale for that.

Pictures of the intake off the car:

It’s a little dusty from sitting on a shelf the last week, but will clean up nice. You’ll notice that there’s a little bit of RTV and gaskets left on the intake as I didn’t want to get too aggressive taking everything off as stated earlier.

I've never even heard of this manifold until now. The fact you can mount the TB on the side is pretty sweet. How does this compare to a stock Chevy TPI?

T/B on the side? What do you mean? FYI its leaps and bounds above GM tpi system

The FIRST TB can be mounted either on the front of the plenum or on the driver's side of the plenum if you need the extra space up front due to clearance issues.

See the plate on the side:

If you want to mount the TB sideways you move that plate to the front and the TB to that location.
