New part for the Chevelle
Permalink  
 


I have always thought this intake setup was the coolest thing back in the day. Granted this the Edelbrock copy of the GM design but also not near as expensive as a GM version. Not the best for street driving either but I think the cool factor will make it all worth while. Plan is to install this on the chevelle when I build the 327 for it down the road.

 Nope, it is designed for higher RPM usage 3000+ range. But I always thought the look of it was cool and wanted one. GM used them for trans am racing on the 302 engine in the Camaro's back in 68-69 model years.

 If it is that cool, who cares about advantage.

I am toying with the idea of using this EFI dual throttle body setup on when I get to it. Should make drivability a little better and tuning much easier. Won't be happening anytime soon so maybe something better will be out by then who knows.

I was wondering if you had an injection vision for that!

I can't wait to see that.

Don's not taking in any new work. He said he's full up.
