I'm not sure if Greg already told you this Tonio, but heres what he emailed me tonight:
------------------------------------------------------------

"In reply to your question of an intake swap. <b>It's a direct swap over</b>, however, I just build the engines, I do not install them. As far as I know there are <b>some mods to do when installing this intake. i.e. throttle cables, induction pipe recontoured.</b> There is yet a better intake from the original manifolds of a Japan engine,
this is more racy but good. Only one thing better than that, a custom intake designed properly. Sorry I can't help you out with the install process."

I'm in the process of doing the swap now. I already got the upper intake from a junkyard. It appears that you deffinitely need to get both the upper and the lower intake. I'm gonna go pull the lower intake off of the 300 tommorow. I'm gonna try to finish the swap this weekend. It looks like you will need a few extra hoses and have to customize the intake tubing for the filter. I like to customize my engine so it wont be hard at all. So far I'm getting the whole intake for free so it should be worth it. I'll let you guys know how the swap goes.

Hey Tony/Larz....

I did a search on car-part.com... there's lotsa manifolds out there.. if you want one, I'd be glad to help coordinate something with you on getting one shipped to neverneverland.

do you know what size/kind of injectors are on these puppies? most of the manifolds I see on the web are about $100-200, WITH injectors.
this is for turbo or non-turbo engines..
lemme know if you want to hook something up.

Thanks for the replies
I think I'm going to wait on chris92gxe to complete his swap first.
