intake manifold

which Edelbrock (or even other brands) intake manifold would you recommend under $200 that will go with stock '87 Camaro heads. I'm taking the whole computer system out, so i don't need any of the sensor crap and stuff.

Do not get Edelbrock.......my RPM AirGap did not even begin to line up with the head intake runners.
I just got my Stealth yesterdayand it lines up wonderfully.
Thanks for the suggestion Jester!

Only one Stealth "series" for SBC - squarebore mount, non-EGR.

I was always looking for a Stealth or RPM type
manifold with EGR and in the Holley web site
they show a picture of a Weiand part number 8000
manifold with EGR that looks identical to the
Stealth (for spreadbore).

The 8000 is the Action+ EGR part. Don't trust their photos.

intake modification

are there any modifications that can be done to the stock intake on a 87 305 with 4 barrell quad jet that can inprove performance. Does any one know how to modify it other than changing the entire manifold.

Thanks

well u could port the living crap out of the stock manifold if u wanted but it would still be a heavy chunk of metal. just go out and spend 150 and get something aluminum. i was amazed at the diff in weight between stock and aftermarket aluminum. if ur short on $ jsut tell ur woman that ur car motor will blow up in 25 miles if u dont change this part so then u miss 3 or so dates and u have a new intake lol

The stock '87 LG4 q-jet manifold from the factory is aluminum. As is the '86, '85, '84...

Except those delivered in Canada.
