LT1 Intake adaptation
Hey eveybody, sorry I've been away from the boards for so long. Anyway, I've heard a rumor about some guy who has managed to fit an LT1 intake to an L98 block without problems. The word is that he's doing the fabrication neccesary to make it an easy bolt on mod. Take that TPIS! If anyone has any info about this please post, or direct me to the relevant thread or website. Thanks a lot!

lol ya, put one of the few compnies that support GM EFI out of business
We're gonna be in a fine pickle after that. Maybe we can ask them to do the mods for us to support them for supporting our brand.

TPIS is over priced and their mini-ram is no exception. Whats the use of having a compnany that supports GM EFI is if cost a fortune to use their products? Kinda like what's the use of having and intake manifold to support vortec heads when is costs just as much as the heads? One intake is not putting TPIS out of business, rather it will force them to be competitive in pricing. Somthing they really don't do now. But this has absolutley nothing to do with what I had originally asked so if anyone has anything useful to say please do so. I really want to find out more info about this guy doing LT1 intake swaps.
