There is a company that makes a lifting bracket that mounts to the intake manifold. It's pretty much the base of the high flow plenum but with a hook. I'm pretty sure it was Quadstar, but I can't find it on their site.

The OEM you are looking at is probably not a GM8, probably a GM3 or 4?. One of the improvements of the GM8 should be a smoother elbow. I picked up a GM8 a little while back because I couldn't leave it for the price the guy was asking. Thinking of swapping it with the GM4 just until I get the...

I've been thinking of ditching the HMMWV crossover I bought and using a dual thermostat crossover instead to go with a high flow water pump. There are some threads on the internet about modifying the throttle cable bracket. Search for "DS4 to DB2" conversion, here's one. You could also try...

Great thread, I'm taking notes for future endeavors! (y)
