Hey, I'd like a price too. This sounds like a cool mod. I've got an extra LT1 intake sitting around. Thanks.

Alex if you're going to do it, lemme know, I've got another one going to my fab shop, might as well have 2 done and I have some improvements to incorporate already also.

How much of a volume discount are you getting? Should this be a group purchase/project?

ARRGG I've posted this message twice.

1) 94+ MANIFOLDS ONLY WORK. 1992/1993 rear fuel rails interfere with the distributor.

2) The coolant passages can be done with AN8 fittings, making for a lower profile at the throttle body.

3) I think I can make this work with vortech heads.

4) Patience.. much more to come.

Yes you can use a 93 intake.I have one right now although the stock fuel rails will not work with out some fabricaton or accel sells bulk fuel rail that can be made to fit anything. I am in the process of waiting for the fuel rails when I get it working I will get pictures.

Hey John and RCR, what year LT1 manifolds are you guys running? The one that I got is a 93 but I haven't actually gotten it in my hands yet and I am wondering how different the fuel rail setup is going to be on the 93 ones versus the newer ones...... thanks,

Laterzzzzz

The whole point to this exercise is to try and keep fabrication, etc., costs to a minimum. I have *2* 1993 intakes here and unless you slaughter them, they aren't going to work. Sure you can fab up something, but they 1994+'s are a ton easier "out of the box". So keep a close watch on your totals using that 1993 and then tell us how 'easy' it was. My time is worth money so spending a ton of extra time isn't worth it to me.

Matt, I can tell you from the pics, that both installs are 1994+ setups. All B/F/Y-bodies use the the same intakes from 1994 up. The Y-body uses a slightly different feed/return tube on the fuel rails but they are identical otherwise.

GhoSSt's Hip Tip : Keep an eye out for a wrecked L99 4.3l V8 from a 1994 - 1996 B-body (Caprice). TONS of them out there in the yards from wrecked cop cars/taxi's and they are the EXACTLY same as the LT1 intakes with the exception of the injectors (19's on an L99 versus 24's on an LT1). This is what I got from the yards for my intake on my 406ci in my Caprice. 85.00 for a complete intake, plus 15.00 shipping.
