A year or so ago I acquired this intake for a build:

I finally got to installing an IAC and confirmed that it won't clear the thermostat cover. I do want to run an IAC since it will be a street car.

So I was planning on buying one of these and a carb "hat" to build a blow-thru build.

But, I want to get opinions if this will work.

I don't think it would hurt anything for the throttle body to sit vertical, and the stock throttle cable might even work. Pipe the tubing from the intercooler in the top with an elbow. I will need to make a mounting plate and some type of vacuum block between the TB and manifold. It should save me about $500 if I can use this setup.
