I don't have a picture of just the intake except from the side.Both of these were for sale on Ebay some time ago.I had a couple more pictures of the upper plate and the intake itself.I will post if I can find them.Hope these help.

Don't think it will work that way...have heard of people doing the opposite. Using the old camaro crossram intake and adapting the throttle bodies on that. Probably easier to just find the original camaro intake and using that instead of trying to adapt the CFI intake.

A tunnel ram and a crossram are two totally diferent intake styles. A tunnel ram is a tall manifold with longish vertical runners (depending on the brand). The carbs or throttle bodies are inline (if it has two). A crossram style intake is one in which the carbs or throttle bodies are across from each other and offset, one to the rear and one to the front. The only cars hat came fro GM with a crossram (as far as I know) were the Crossfire Vettes & Camaros and the 69 Camaro Z28 with the DZ302 motor. No GM car ever came from the factory with a true tunnelram as far as I know. Just my $.02.
