Hmmmm...so here are a bunch of questions for you guys:

So with this progressive linkage on the SVO, what kind of modifications would need to be made to the throttle cable to work with a 65mm TB?

Rales, how much would you be asking for the gutted upper? Any chance of posting some pictures? What do you mean by "totally square" instead of the valleys? Would I be able to temporarily run the 65mm with my stock SVO intercooler? I'm assuming I can run any aftermarket 65mm for a Foxbody?

i'm deffinatly up for some kind of group deal, the turbo ranger is far from running properly, but its getting better every time i throw money at it. levi (plazma) has been an itregral part in getting it as far as it is now. and i think that if we get a collective group together, then it just might get done sometime.

Well its been a while but I just refound this thread, My car got started tommarrow, i have to modify the throtle linkage and then its getting a drive around the block tonight hopefully. I'm not sure how much i want for my intake yet. If you look at your intake it has vallys in the body of the intake, I had those welded up so the intake is actully a square instead of a squished square. Drop me a PM or give me a call at 727-236-0253. I dont have a digi cam but im now located in port richey if you want to see it.

There shouldn't be any modification to make the throttle linkage hook up except that u have to take the bracket off the upper and move it back and use one bolt in the second hole and none in the first. Once u have it sitting there u will know what u have to do.

Also make sure u get it so the throttle blade opens all the way when the gas pedal is on the floor.
