What is this intake from?

Going through ebay and found this. It says that the intake is from a 2.8 from a f-body/fiero. This doesn't look right to me. It looks like it would work with some modification.

I answered this on FTv6 for you as well.....

That intake is from a 1986 Cavalier Z24, I don't believe it was used on anything else, I don't recall seeing it on anything else anyway.

Could it actually work on one of our motors. It says that it is from an iron head motor.

^^^and the issue of throttle cable etc. Unless there were proven gains, it wouldn't be worth the trouble.
