If you had 2 more cyls it could look like this...

j/k,, it's alot better looking than my camaros LG4,, despite detaling,, your motor isn't half bad looking,, could be better,, but not bad.

I was about to mention new containers would be a nice addition. Very nice. Where did you get your latch and hood supports chromed at? I'm looking to find a place that can chrome stuff... but no one has replied.

Here's the tech article on the LT1 intake swap.
http://members.home.net/millicanga/s...into_a_1st.htm

It was worth it for my engine, I ran out of breath so fast due to the 383 stroker and cam/heads. I needed to do something.

Whats better about it for breathing, does it create a better power band than tpi, casue I have a tpi system for my car i want to put on my 350 with cam, and would it be worth it to go lt1 induction instead?
