would 48 mm TB bolt to 2 barrel intake?

If a 2 barrel intake was going to be converted to fuel injection, could the TPI TB bolt right to where the carb goes? I've been thinking of doing something like this with a with a Vortec Victor Jr. 2 barrel intake, Vortec heads, and either a Mopar TB or TPI TB.<p align="left"><img src="http://www.krcperformance.com/java/2bbl8.JPG" width="454" height="310"alt="http://www.krcperformance.com/java/2bbl8.JPGG (103693 bytes)"></p>

Hmmn, interesting idea. An adapter could be easily made, no problem. But, I see issues with the throttle cablle, TV cable an cruise cable routing....the way you have it, all the cable would have to make a fairly tight 90* turn.

I think it's Accel that make a 90* adapter/elbow for the TB to bolt to. Pretty pricy though, sonthing like 300 bucks. But I'd think a guy who has access to a machineshop could make an adapter/elbow to work.

How's school treating you these days?

the accel elbow is for 4 barrel carbs. I figured if a 2 barrel one bolts on to the intake it would save some cash.

School has been ok. I am gettin an A in one of my classes (Calc 3). I'm taking less lately to get my GPA up. I droped Calc 4, I didn't have time to do any HW. I've been working alot lately too. At least 20 hours a week. I've made 3 PCs on the side too.
