What needs to be done to the intake to bolt it right up? I thought that I remember reading that you have to elongate a few holes.

Thanks

well if youre wanting carb on a FI engine then you can just get a carb intake off an 87 or 88 caprice impala firebird camaro

stock factory

but yes the 4 middle holes changed angle for 87

 

Easy to do. Just takes alittle time.

 

Can you give me some guidance on this?

 

there is a kit on summit that may make it easier...it has the angled inserts and bolts for ease of installation.

 

cool. Do you have a part number

Is the kit that you are talking about? It says holley. Will it work with an Edelbrock intake? Just wondering if you knew. Thanks

Bill

 

HLY-90748
is what i used

i have no idea if it will work...i dont see why it wouldnt but i am not an expert on this. i used the kit with a holley intake.

 

Hey did you have to do any drilling?

 

minor machining, i wish that i would have just oval'd the holes instead of cutting the intake clike they suggested in the instructions. but the intake torqued just fine and it sealed great. it was actually much easier to install this intake than the tpi one. because the bolts mount at, lets say, a 45 degree angle on the older intakes, you would just need to expand the holes to make a bolt go through them at a more straight up and down angle. just holding the bolts above the intake, at the right angle, you can tell how much metal needs to be removed. it wasnt that much at all

the hardest part was just holding the intake because i didnt want to scratch it up

 

oh ok cool. thanks.

 

gl with it

 

Would modifying the 4 center holes cause any type of leaks?

 

got any pics of the what the work looks like

 

this is a simple one take your drill and bit 9/16 or one size up dont remember start by drilling the hole at the normal angle back it out increase angle and repeat it will be mildly thin on the outside edge ive even seen it break dont worry thats what washers are for

 

Nice. Thanks for the diagram. Looks good

Bill

 

thanks hope everything goes good

 

Not if done remotely right.

 

You guys should make this a sticky. I bet this come up a lot.

Thanks for the help

Bill
