Awesome. I was wondering this, myself. I've been seeing complete H.O. intakes with TB's on Craigslist going for dirt cheap (like $40 to $60), and I've been thinking about throwing one on my '86 for a couple extra horses, but I didn't want to screw with torquing and re-torquing the lower intake manifold - the upper plenum I can pull and have the other one on in like 30 minutes.

*adds intake manifold to list of near-future goodies*

Okay, great. Thanks for the confirmations!

I just wanted to get a confirmation that it was the same, because the part number has an E6 number in it.

I was told "no" a long time ago when I had one



Dude at the speed shop must not have known what he was doing
