Very nice. That's probably what I should've done with my project but it was already spiraling out of control $ wise. I will eventually have one of those on my car. One day......

I did the same with a Vic Jr, made it fuel injected and put LT1 TB. Runs great. Of coarse I'm running a Gen I motor not the LT1 anymore though.

Have the bolt holes been relocated? They appear to still be standard SBC.

What kind of intake elbow/airbox do you have to run with this setup?

Where did you get that elbow?

That's a very nice setup.

In his post he mentioned having the heads converted, he's probably using SBC heads.

I am up in the air right now on intake setup, I have now a SLP 85mm MAF or a stock MAF with MBA billet ends and a K&N CAI with a damn huge filter, this will do pretty well....or I have been thinking about a Suncoast twin Nostril hood and a WS6 airbox setup...dont like the looks or the cost..put it will make more power over what I have now.

Intake elbows.com did the conversion and the elbow, pretty nice work....seen better....but nice nevertheless.


Thanks for the kudos guys, I came home from lunch and it was at the door...busted it open like Xmas morning

Yes Pro-Action 235's, no need to convert the holes, they match.

Looks good, but isn't that the elbow with the sh*tty short side?

Don't know, "looks" ok to me....I know some guys have made big numbers with these. No worse than the turn the air has to make into the front cylinders on a LT1 manifold, actually much better, I dont think it is that critical as long as the plenum is full, of course I may be wrong.
