i've seen pictures of l series motors with independent throttles from other cars on them, anyone know who makes the adaptors for them? even a number would help. seen them before in pictures from the mt. shasta meets and i would love to try and track them down. let me know if you have any more info. thanks!

TWM and a number of other companies make DCOE style throttle bodies, so if you have weber carbs on already, you can bolt these throttle bodies on, and run a standalone ECU and be set. Or your gonna have to buy a DCOE manifold.

Yes, TMW, SK Sanyo, and HKS all make (or did make in the case of HKS) twin throat throttle bodies that will match up to any Weber/Mikuni style manifold. They have injector monts in them that take any top feed style injector. Here are a set of 50mm SKs.....

You can go straight to the manufacturer (TWM is in the US so http://www.twminduction.com/ between 330-500 depending on diameter) but they have a large number of distributors across the country for a bit cheaper, a search on yahoo for twm throttle body gave me lots of distributors

I will make you a good deal on this new set, if you want 50mm bores, and all 3 of them. They come with the phenolic heat isolators, velocity stacks, and linkage arms. E-mail me at [email protected]
