Pics needed, sbc intake converted to lt1
I'm looking for pictures of regular SBC carb intakes modified to fit LT1 heads. I have a good idea of what needs to be done but it'd help to see pics so I can viualise the new bolt holes and bolt angles.
I haven't picked an intake yet (havent nearly finalised my combo) but I have seen that some intakes have had different mounting faces over the years, some with more meat around the bolt holes than others. I need pictures to help me know what to look for. I know GMPP makes a carb intake, but I'd rather buy something cheap and used, and convert it myself, on account of having no money
plus I may want to go single plane.
I've searched high and low, but the only posts I found were old and the links didn't work.
Thanks

You really can't see the bolts in the pic though. I went with the RPM airgap, then switched to the GMPP one. Too many oil leaks and vaccum leaks after machining. The GMPP fit on the perfect and has made nice power. Heather couldn't even drive the car with the Airgap one on there just because of the major loss of vaccum. Messes the fuel signal all up and it's a bear to drive.
