most likely. most of the work i have done with the vert was just gathering parts to put it together the right way.i didnt want it looking like i cobbled it together with cast off parts.

will gt40 parts work on a speed density motor without a tune, or should i just throw the mass air computer on it?

Car will need the MAF for new heads and cam. Just throw your system on it.
