Consider a vortec carb manifold with a tbi adapter plate? Pro products $140 plus ship plus the adapt plate cost at summitracing.com.

Something tells me that manifold is limited much like the one for standard GM tbi heads. I would shoot Edel an email on its application intention.

From what I know is that the 7116 is a better design and has bigger runners.I to have the 2116 on my 383 and considering the 7116.If you are taking about the lt1lt4 hotcam than thats not the correct duration you posted.The hot cam is a 218/226 duration.
