Seeking Intake Manifold & Carb Options

[Platonic Solid]

My truck (89 GMC Sierra 454 7.4L TBI) is at the mechanics waiting for the new (remanufactured) Jasper engine to arrive. Though many of Jasper's engines come with intake manifolds, this one does not. (not sure why) It almost seems ashamed to spend all this money on a new engine and then put the old rusty original intake manifold and equally tired looking TBI carb on it. I suppose new exhaust manifolds wouldn't be out of the question either. Any help on what to get and where to purchase would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

This looks promising. I found this EFI System for TBI-Equipped Engines from Edelbrock. Anyone here using this?

Check out 454ss.com. I'm happy with my 454TBI intake from edelbrock. Picked up about 1 MPG. hey, thats 10 percent!!
