Looks like a TA49 to me.

I noticed the Mease plenum. I run one too. Make sure you install it exactly as the instructions state.

thanks for the info on the turbo the plenum I bought used so I don't have the instructions I had to have it milled to get a flat surface it would be great if you could let me know if there is anything special to putting it on thanks

I am told that the best thing to use is permatex copper gasket sealent with no gasket. I used it in mine with a terry huston downpipe with no leaks..

Are th champion heads worth the cost? I have my motor stripped to the long block and I am thinking of changingthe heads and intake, is it worth the extra 1400-1500 dollars? I have purchased 009 inj, Stainless headers, TE44 turbo, 3in Terry Houston downpipe, high eng coil, 160 thermostat, 8 position chip, billet fuel regultor, hi voulme fuel pump. pinion snub, not sure where to go next but once I put it back together I dont want to pull apart again, I want 11.30-11.5o et times on drag radials. Helpppppppp
