Also what would you consider a good price?
Was thinking ~150 for the cover and tubes, and the same for TB and larger MAF housing would be a good deal, expecting to pay a bit more but wanted to have a general cost in mind.
The tubes are about the same length, without the adapter I made they just about fit to the fittings on the rad support frame. Prices are all over the map so I cannot give you a hard number there.
TB and MAF should come to about $150, the TB goes for around $100 to $125. You do not need the larger MAF sensor just the body so it should be cheap.
Make sure you specify the part numbers or they may swap a different part that does not fit. I have two A 112 90 15 01, look the same until you realize they are about 3/8" too high and rub the hood liner. Someone switched out the part I requested and at one point I had three of them.
I ended up with two unused parts for the engine cover, but two main bodies (15 01's) and a V8 nose piece as well. Finally these were to taken to the dump.
