Hey,

I recently got some twin throts, Just wondering if anyone had any ideas about how to rig up the tv cable. Any help would be appreciated :)

Someone welded a box ontop of a stock manifold?

HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY?!

Yeh man, that's a very average looking manifold. I'd be surprised if it works any better than the original bananas (probably be worse).

On topic, looks like they forgot all about the T/V and throttle cables. You will need to make some sort of bracket to hold both cables.

Well I'm hardly going to stop them via a forum.
Nothing stopping me asking the obvious question though.

Standard 5ltrs don't need two throttles. V6's certainly don't. Do they come with extra hekkers points or something?

Its not shiny glitter paint, its just the sun on it, it was polished but most of the engine it is going on is black so it was painted. I also don't applicate being called a ######## for wanting to run twin throts on a 5L.

ari666: Who says i didn't do any research? i am asking here now for ideas on the TV cable bracket.

soop: The 5l it is going on is anything but stock. It has the biggest off the shelf roller cam from crane, Ported and Shaved heads, Triple valve springs, roller rockers and the list goes on. i wouldn't put these on a stock motor.

I'm not here for your criticism on "why should i run twin throts", Im asking for ideas on a bracket for a TV cable. It looks like a similar setup to the group a throts. how do people run those on a VS?

Right, so you're running the biggest cam availible from crane, and you think a butchered stock manifold is going to work...

*sigh*
