OK, I had enough!!!

I've been waiting for that base too long! I have a factory TPI base sitting I can play with. I know some people have done it, how did you modify it to fit? Bolt holes? EGR (I'm assuming none), ports? Gotta do something, that motors sitting and waiting, and at this pace, it'll be another year until it's released! Gee, thanks SD!!!Well done!

Jeez...anyone want some ported Vortec heads? I'm about to go with some 'Vette heads.

I have converted a set of vortec heads and have been running them with the stock intake. They gave me great boost in power and I have not had any problems yet. I had to use the larger felpro gasket because the stock one would not cover the cylinder head port.

Did you modify the intake or the heads for the bolts? Also, how did you get the port transition from the intake to the head to match up? Thanks alot, this really helps! I have a siamesed base at home, and no intake, so I wanna get my car running!
