vortec's

I ran across a set of brand spankin vortecs with the 062 casting that I might throw on my L98. Can i still use my stock intake with these? I'm probably just gonna stick with my tpi but have it ported.

I'm pretty sure that Scoggin Dickeys sells a TPI base for Vortecs. www.SDPC2000.com

Buy other heads. The vortechs are ok but for the trouble and money you will have swapping to the Scoggin Dickey intake you can buy some real good heads that will work with your stock ported base.

Where are you gonna get a base for "200 or so"?

Scoggin Dickey are the ones who make it. There's nowhere else to get them.
