Yes, drive by wire TB. It's a CTS-V one, with the solenoid off to the side for added clearance. I tried a couple vette ones and they didn't clear by about a 1/2". It's close. I have about an inch, maybe inch and a quarter clearance with the hood closed.

Hoods slope down towards the front, so it gets lower/tighter the further you go forward. But, you could go off to the side, or even the rear if you absolutely had to.

If you go to the side, and your intake is too low, or your rails are too high, the elbow won't clear the rails. But you could always use base spacers and creep up on it. I've seen a couple 2nd gen 'birds go to the side, no problem. (As long as you don't have short body bushings.).

If I would have not had enough room, I would have gone to a NW. But the 68-72 A-bodies have considerable room, and shouldn't be too difficult to work it out.

Using a Holley Dominator EFI ECU, Holley 48# injectors, and Edelbrock fuel rails. You can check out my build thread, but honestly, I've been bad about keeping up with it. I want to get the project done, almost there, and any spare time I have I am in the garage!
