You kept saying you didn want to change the intake for Vortec heads, you wanted to keep the TPI. He was referring to that, saying you only have to change the intake base and that Edelbrock sells one.



That's the Scoggin-Dickey Vortec TPI base. You just bolt the runners and upper plenum to it and you're done.
