Interesting looking plenum - Page 1 - Wedges

Ive seen one of these before, they were done for the usa market and its all to do with emissions. If memory serves me correct the V8 in the TR8 only chucked out 155bhp so its as good as useless for performance. Was designed to be as shallow as poss for clearance issues with the boonet as well.

I had one of those on a US federal TR8 engine. It was a bit rubbish but was low and somebody wanted to buy it.
