I have a GT-40 lower intake to go behind my S-Trim With sn-95 Brackets. I cannot get my heater tubes to work. They are against my fuel injector in the front tried to tap it down some to clear, but not enough to do it and I am afraid to go further. I am using SN95 tubes. Anyone have a sollution? Would a Fox heater coolant tube work?

Thanks Daniel

I had a similar problem with my Edelbrock Victor EFI intake, except they tell you straight up in the instructions that your heater tubes aren't going to work. They also include a cheesy throttle cable bracket that is more trouble than it's worth. I ended up rigging my set up with plumbing fittings with a series of nipples, tees, elbows, bushings, and reducers to make it work. The added benefit was that I was able to add in an extra spot to put in an electrical water temp sending unit so that now both my factory dash gauge and my mechanical aftermarket gauge are working. I also used a throttle cable bracket from http://www.mc-machine.com. That thing works like a dream and really cleans things up and helps with the tight clearance in that area.

The heater piping looks like dammit, but it's effective.

Here's the mc-machine throttle cable bracket:
