Current Intake

 As it sits, this is the intake that Larry began to fabricate.

It's a double throttle body intake, custom made out of some flat stock and half of an EFI intake. Based on some parts lying in the battery compartment, I laid out what was there.
Some things of note- First off, the air path is... less than ideal. From the TB, it has to split and turn 90° in a very short area, with lots of sharp corners. This would be an improvement over stock, but I think it could be better. I'm thinking of either individual throttle bodies, or buddy them up with 3 TBs. As for the actual manifold, I'd like to start over and get a clean path for the airflow. This intake may be cut and re-used, or I might look for something from theBay that gets a bit closer to my goal.
