Im not going to list any specs yet, but thats not an OBX manifold is all I will say.

Some you will notice some you won't, I'm going to wait until everything is finished to post up full details.

Excuse the mess of wires, and dirt. This is just a glimpse shoot.

You might want to hook up that odd-looking TPS wink1.gif
Got any better pictures of how you hooked up the throttle cable?

Blam! Dude, that's one sweet build there man! I envy you. I did notice that your acelleration/rough road sensor is pointing the wrong direction.

I wil share the info on the Manifold. (Btw, I had to place the ACT emblem somewhere... I have a friend of a friend that works for them and gave me a better deal on tranny stuff if I placed the emblem in the engine bay)

Im running as you can see a dual rail set up which I made (I have access to a full machine shop), on a modified stock manifold. The manifold runners were opened up slightly because our runners aren't a restriction. I just smoothed them off. The TB is a Mustang 70mm with the ford tps. I welded a plate to the stock tb flanges than on a lathe ported it to 71mm all the way through. Re-drilled and tapped for new tb studs.

The throttle position plate, where the end of the cable slides into had to be opened up a bit and thin out a very small amount so that ours slide in there. (Fords use smaller throttle cable end caps)

A new plate was made to attatch the throttle cable to the manifold at a higher spot and to the rigth more. This was done so that the cable is tight, and the tb remains closed. (works just like stock).

I will take pictures of it later when I get off work.

DTN, the knock sensor was always like that since the day I bought the car. Show me a pic of how you want it to be LOL.
