To buy or not to buy, that is the ?

A co-worker has a 350 Ram Jet intake for sale $200.00. Should I get it or pass? Just the intake no TB or injectors. Would my fuel rails and injectors work? And what the heck do I do for a TB? I looked at it a few hours ago and its brand spanking new. Man oh Man hate to blow $200.00 on crap. Thanks for any help.

The ramjet uses rails made by GM specifically for the ramjet. Also, Arizona Speed and Marine may have rails that will work.

The ramjet uses a LS1 style throttle body.

You really need to buy the ramjet as a complete kit.

rail kit is $329.00 and tb is $272.96. GM does not sell a discounted kit as of yet and does not plan to in the future.ASM wants to dang much for thier kit $3000.00) HeL L I can buy the whole motor for a few grand moreso that ruled them out from the start. Got an idea in the works for the fuel rail. The tb will not be hard to find, Brother just changeds his out on his LS1 and is mailing it to me. Sensors might be the problem...
Mercruse is using the 502 ramjets on new production 502 500 horse,but the are twin plate design like tpi and lt1. This is gonna be fun.
