Intakes go from model year 86 and under, 87-95 and then 96 and up vortec style. They are in jegs and summit your not looking in the right places.

Is this for a strip or street car. There are different types on intake manifolds that operate in different rpm ranges. Tell us what your complete set up is and we could help you out better.

Re: Need HELP WITH INTAKE!!!!!!!!

one more thing to take into consideration...some of the intake manifolds cause clearance issues with a stock hood..

Re: Need HELP WITH INTAKE!!!!!!!!

What carb setup are you using? Edelbrock, Holley? What size? That will help us figure which intake you need to use.

Re: Need HELP WITH INTAKE!!!!!!!!

You can use an '86 and earlier intake manifold with '87+ heads. The difference is in the angle of the manifold bolts. You can use a dremel to get the bolts to fit correctly, its been done many times before, search for threads. Whether its worth the effort is up to you, people who have done it have different opinions.
