First,
 
    I'm going to see what the new one does {:>).  Who knows the old one could end up back on the engine.  However, you could probably use the lower manifold and tubes, but think you would have to redo the upper throttle body portion to fit under the cowl.  Perhaps as Tracy has done.  Actually, if you cut down the stock throttle body to the two secondary ports like Tracy did, it just might fit - on second thought under a RV-3 cowl -Naaahh!
 
   But, should I decided to get rid of it, you will be the first on the list and the price will be very reasonable. Would like to see what that RV-3 would do with 400 more rpm on the prop during takeoff {:>)

What are you asking ($) for the old one?

Old one weighed in at 26lbs, new one at 12lbs, plus looks better.
