Default Want to run an ITB manifold. Has it been done on a LT-5?

I wondered if someone has some info on an ITB for an LT-5 since that's the motor and manifold style I want to run for this '55 project.

Thanks.

I recall seeing pictures of an LT5 race motor with individual throttle bodies. I think it was the one with the flat crank as well. Not a common or produced aftermarket piece though.

Still looking, but I haven't found any info on that race car yet.

Good suggestion Al. Maybe Hogan has done an ITB intake for an LT-5 already .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Elise_GT1

These are the guys that did the crank:

Guy on ebay had these for sale at one point, I think his ebay ID was Einsteins brain or something

Also appears Hennessey has reinvented the V8 Elise: http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/h...deo-2010-04-14
