Joe Craine got me all excited today when he sent me a bunch of pictures of a couple of Trick Flow Specialties EFI manifolds sitting on top of his intake adapter. I think this would be an awesome setup, both from an appearance and performance standpoint, and would give anybody an easy entry into an EFI system. I've posted some of the pictures that Joe sent below, with some explanatory notes.
The photos below shows the front of the TFS intake marked for cutting, to fit the intake adapter, and then the cut version sitting in place.
Here's the back of the intake, which doesn't appear to need any trimming at all:
Here's a picture of the runners, with the top of the intake removed; pretty nice shot to the ports:
Here's a picture of the manifold with one of the tops in place; this is the normal street top, with some additional runner length built in:
Here's the bottom half of the race style top in the next picture, which gives shorter runners and a straighter shot to lower manifold, and then both halves installed in the following picture, with the other top sitting off to the side:
The remaining pictures show the manifold options mounted on an engine, along with some measurements from the top rail of the block.
Joe tells me that you can buy ready made fuel rails for these manifolds, and of course you can bolt on the correct size throttle body. Add injectors and an EFI box, and you have a nearly complete EFI system. I'm impressed...
