Evening all.
I'm having trouble finding a twin throttle body set up for my stroked 5L - everything seems to be for an LS these days.
Anybody have any leads? Have searched the forums but there are no recently entries I can find.

Got a flowcraft ttb. $5k if you’re interested.

@Pusser have you phoned trickshift? That should be your first plan.
I was on there call back list for a while, but ended up finding a come TTB for sale locally so got that instead.

Check COME racing website for current availability of their Mani.

That unit from EYY always looks pretty trick and would be a good option too

There is a place that is making replica Grp A manifolds but their not cheap, I think there is a Genuine Grp A manifold listed on Trademe if you have a spare $20K.

Come racing ttb not much change out of $4000. I remember when they were about $2500. There is what looks like a Trick Flow ttb on Gumtree for $2500. Trick Flow have two manifolds. One for 304, the other for 355-383.

G'day mate
Trickshift was my first thought as I spoke to a guy at Summernats years ago who had their set up on his VN and was really happy with it. Unfortunately they don't make their TTB intakes any more.

Thanks mate, but purchasing is a little further down the line yet - still assessing options.

Originally there were around 300 Group A made with that throttle body. They are well sort after and highly valued. They are worth a Shinto load.

Stick with the standard manifold (I assume you have a 355). I upgraded my 355 (COME) Calais to a Motec ECU/TTB and was not happy with the result. It wasn't until I upgraded to a 383 with different (still mild) cam that the car started to perform as I expected. My advice would be to save your money. The 355 with a standard manifold will give you more than enough power (and more importantly usable torque) for the road. In fact, the 355s are deadly on cold tyres if you give them a boot taking off from rest!
