The only EFI manifold I know of for an LA is the Victor EFI.
Fabricator? Make yourself something like this....

Jeep TB, same progressive type linkage (eliptical bellcrank so it opens slow and then faster, thats not an issue IMHO) or just go Easy and mill some spacers and use a Chevy intake on an LA. It looks simple. I still need to plumb the AN fittings into the water ports for the remote water inlet.
looks good, similar to what I was thinking.
My plan is to keep my eyes open for a cheap tunnel ram lower unit without the top carb box portion, cut and machine it to accept my own fabbed up plenum box with TB flange and add injector bungs.
Also, for what it's worth, the main benefit from a tunnel ram type manifold comes from runner length and flow capabilities. With or without boost, the effects of runner length are the same. Some folks are still saying "turbo intake this or that" but that's all been broadly debunked.I have searched the internet high and low to no avail.
does anybody make a single throttle body, EFI intake manifold for small block applications similar to the Chevy LS manifold pictured?

For me i wanted the location but i will just run the elbow.Also, for what it's worth, the main benefit from a tunnel ram type manifold comes from runner length and flow capabilities.

This to say, if you are looking for a piece of jewelry for your engine, by all means find a sweet hi ram set-up. It'll certainly look cool (and I totally understand this). However if you are thinking this intake will make loads more power than another with similar runner length and flow capabilities, then the truth of the matter is, it won't. And if you're turbocharging it, the power is largely dictated by the turbo.
With a stock block the intake manifold will not be the limiting factor in a turbo application. You could get to a 1000 hp with just about any performance intake, once you toss boost at it.
Im honestly curious what’s the reason big box companies don’t build one for the small block. It ain’t the thermostat location.
I’d guess that it’s just a demand and cost of production thing. They’d have to do the R&D and set up the production line and then get their money back out of it.
Edelbrock makes an intake like that for the big block Mopars for their ProFlo EFI. I’m sure they know how many of the super victor small block EFI intakes they sell and what they make off of them currently and are just weighing that against R&D and production costs.
Current pic. My boys 68 dart. Just mocking it up. Turbo RB on e85 because why not lolNice! Is that current picture or do you have any feedback on the ProFlo4 set up?
I endorse this picture lol it does clear a factory hood too, I added the scoop just to have some cold air blowing on the inlet to help keep the air charge colder. Here's a different pic without all the wires and piping.Use a victor efi with an edlebrock 90 degree throttle body adapter and an ls 90mm throttle body. Almost all aftermarket efi systems are set up for the gm sensors already and it makes it super easy.
