That thing is pretty BA. You could totally mow down some zombies with it, too.

In my rural town most folks seem to have classic back hoes or old farm tractors with home made blades to move the snow.

Mornin' Ray ! The 240 is at another shop getting the cold pipe welded up,turbo intake pipe and some intercooler brackets fabricated.I should have it back by the end of the week,so i can finally get the front end back on it. Got my wide band last week so about the only thing left to get is my ECU .Here is my fabricators website if you want to check his work out.

Your job will be a cake walk for them.
Out of curosity- I'm confused about what I'm looking at.
Are most of these manifolds fuel injected AND carb'd?

Or are we looking at nitro injection?

solely for idling and low end? The injectors come in when the engine starts to make serious power?

The throttle body sits on top of the manifold where the carb would go. It operates like any other fuel injected motor.

You'd use a TB like this...

I can't see the photos. But based on the explanation I'm guessing that its a plenum type manifold pictured?

Whats the benefit of that style intake vs. plenum style? Top end?

It's basically so you can convert a carburetor type intake to an EFI setup.

That's the most common intake manifold for GM V8 motors. Even the EFI manifolds used TBI injection for the most part. The benefit is space under the hood. I can't say there is any power benefit to be had or we'd see that type of manifold still being used in modern day V8's.
