When I had a XF unit on my old s/c motor I made an adpation plate and put the throttlebody in dead level.....cleared the rocker cover...just... My throttlebody will be for sale in a few months (or sooner, depends on how the twin cam motor comes along), bored out manifold, throttlebody, adapter plate, TPS, twin throttle cable mounts for cruise control, relocated aFM mount (on top of the rocker cover) and a extra injector mounted (SV11 camry cold start injector) where the XF's bleed system is located.... (the bleed system has been removed) Plus I have to clean it up etc before I'd sell it.....but not yet...and I'd rather sell it to somebody here....sorry man Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
