Looks nice Bob.  What motor are you hanging this on and.... what's the bore diameter of that throttle body,  if you don't mind?
 
Thanks
Tom

Many months of waiting has finally paid off. I received my Turrentine 
Intake manifold this evening. 

I'm going to need to do a little work to it. The throttle body is a 
Nissan and it looks like some extra stuff was removed. That's OK, but 
the return spring is still on it and it closes the throttle, so that 
will have to be rearranged. 

There is a small port on the side that is about 1/2 closed off when the 
throttle plate is closed. As soon as the plate opens a little, the port 
is behind the plate. This doesn't seem to me to be a good location for 
either the EC2 sensor, or a reference for the fuel regulator. Shouldn't 
both of those be completely behind the throttle plate at all times? I'm 
thinking that I should drill a couple of ports right behind the throttle 
body. One for the EC2 and one for the fuel regulator.

Any comments or opinions would be appreciated.

One note: Bruce has told me that he isn't going to make any more like 
this. He is going to replace the aluminum plenum with a laid up plenum.
The runners and flange will remain aluminum. This is to reduce the time 
required to build it.
