Anyone modify the bracket yet? I'm thinking of having my friend weld the open slits on it, then re-cutting it with a dremel to the right shape like the stock one is. That way I can bolt in the cruise as well. Then cutting it and moving it closer, then drilling a hole and putting a small bolt in there to hold it closer back together then having the friend re-weld it in the final spot.

Hopefully the shoehorn is the same size for the amount of pedal travel as stock. I'd hate to get the plate to close then run out of pedal travel and the plate not be fully open...

Nah our throttle shafts have different stops anyways on them. The shaft isn't going to be an issue I don't think, unless you want cruise, but my cruise is aftermarket and has a ball chain end so I can make a new end for it.

The cable bracket is the only thing that needs tweaking to hold the cable in, and then brought closer some.

Not sure when it arrived, but I finnally went and picked my adapter up. Thanks alot Forced_Firebird. It's not often that people produce affordable, quality parts for us 660 guys. I really apprieciate all your hard work.

To anyone questioning about quality, It's top notch. There also appears to be enough room to drill and tap more holes for a stock 3x00 tb. I'll post a pic if I do it. If it works I will probably run the 3x00 tb for now till I get the time to find the 3.5L one.

Yeah FF is the man! I didn't have to do any work on this part I had him do compared to the dogbones (mailing, test fitting, designing, etc). I just told him I wanted the LX5 TB to bolt to the LX9 plenum and he made it happen for us! Of course I sent him a TB to mock up on his 3500 plenum to draw up from.

Fallen, yes you could do that, since he made ones that fit both plenums. You could just put holes and tap them in the same spots. Should work. You get a different Fiero? Or some how convert to GT rear quarters? I see you got back a 3500 plenum on there. Tell us what you think of the 65mm over the 70mm vortec you had on there.

Thanks for all the compliments

These were this inexpensive only because I used up some left over bars my neighbor had and traded some work for them. In the future, they will go up a couple dollars, but you guys wont feel it much on your end (prob $5-7), just to offset the cost of the materials.

In the future, if you guys would like an even more universal type adapter that can fit a few options, again the price will only go up a couple dollars to help with tooling costs. All the adapters will now fit both the 3400 and 3500 plenum, and just a few more tapped holes will allow you to use them for going from a 31/3400 TB to 3500 plenum as well.

I'll be ordering some more aluminum soon, so please give any input for future referance.

Thanks again,

3.5 DOHC 65mm TB to 34/3500 is what I need. I'm not preassuring or anything but what kind of timeframe are we lookin' at?
