Default Custom tri throttle body intake build

I am starting to build my tri throttle body upper intake plenum. I am taking pictures a long the way and hopefully it will be done here in a couple of weeks. Im just building it in my spare time here at the shop.

3 3.1L GM throttle bodies will be used. The center one will utilize the TPS and IAC. The 2 on the ends have had the IAC area cut off, welded up and remachined flat. Also the coolant passage port has been machined off and smoothed out.

thanks man!

Should have some more pictures of it up today. Its coming along nicely. BTW Daniel, I am going to have the harness all torn off soon so I can start cleaning and powdercoating everything. When do you want this harness? No big hurry on my part really, we are shooting to have it done by July or August. I just dont know how long it will take to clear customs both ways and how long you will need it for. I had a customer send me a torque converter from Canada and its been stuck at the border for about 6 weeks now. Crazy.
