1) what AR is this T4?
2) DUDE, with a T4 your going to need quite a bit.
3) TCD makes a mani. Or a simple Ebay mani will work if you brace it.
Depending on the size of that T4, it is probably not going to be a very good setup on a low budget. If this is the honkin divided housing, huge T4.... You best not even attempt to do this with anything less than a stand alone, fully built motor, and more fuel support than Chevron.
The 2.7 is not exactly performances best friend on a budget.
This is my advice....
Take that 4500, and throw the stock motor in a river. Throw in a m50 or m52, and you have a real platform for real performance. That is just my advice. I had a E30 with a good amount of work done, ran quite well. But unless you know that motor really well, you will have a hard time extracting good power out of it.
