Roush intake manifold.

Where the heck does the throttle body go?

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

If you look at the picture facing the passenger side of the intake, it looks like the tb goes on the opposite side. Probably a reason you've never seen one...

Roush also had a intake manifold on a 5.0 that had a 4 hole inline throttle body like the old Autolite inline 4bbl that could be had on the Boss 302 back in 1969. They had it on display at the Indy car race they had at Barber's here in Birmingham. I'd like to see that thing show up somewhere too.

the carbs looked like this: Talk about RARE!

I think the throttle body attaches facing rearward, center of the front plenum, there is a flat machined surface at center of front plenum facing rearward and appears that is where the throttle body would go.

Looks cool. 47hp with an intake swap is a bold claim. As is 120 with GT40s, but what do I know
