$90 is looking pretty good right now isn't it? and, teh Renix bored TB from www.strokedjeep.com is 60mm. That's 2mm larger than a standard HO TB.

I wish the Renix TB was round like the later ones. It'd be easier to make the custom snorkel I have in my head.

You have a snorkel in your head? That explains alot. LOL.

How about modding a Renix intake tube?

Yeah, there's alot up there. I need to clean it out and organize it so I can think more betters.

I actually want the intake drawing from the other side, something similar to a TJ. Long story.

Can't you rotate the 3 bolt intake tube to that direction?

He might sell you one. Gonna need a throttle shaft also. Send him an email.

He said the hardest part of doing the Renix TBs is that they are so odd-shaped. He made a special jig to do them.
