so how about a TT setup on a 4.6L V8 Tbird. You could officially be the first to put a TT setup on these cars....

but hmmm...
if you could throw together a well priced intake tube for these cars, would probably sell pretty good

oh it's pretty simple really, just a 3" or 3.5" tube, about a 60* bend to the pass side and maybe 10* down after you get over the fuel rails. Only thing that could be an issue is going over the fuel rails (solution tried before was cutting a slice out () [<-something along that shape] and flattening it out and welding it back together.)
...and then a couple bungs

Only guy that made a decent reasonably priced piece quit making them now (just found this out looking for a pic)...

(may not look like much, but what it's replacing is HORRIBLE)

It's something I'll have to talk to you about sometime. I wouldn't mind getting something put together for myself and I wouldn't be suprised one bit if you could move a fair number of these to other guys (if it's something you'd be interested in putting out a few of).

Doesn't appear to be anything to complicated but like you said there probably some stuff i cant see in the pics that have to be worked around. But yeah im always up for doing something new.

I'll try and remember to chat with you again closer to spring when the car comes out of storage, let you take a look at it then. (unless we get a particularly nice stretch of weather sometime this winter that I feel like bringing the car out in)

No there isn't anywhere that tells you how to make it, you're on your own as far as design and what not. Gotta base it off the car and what room you have to work w/.

75% of that i do on a daily basis is welding.
