Subject: Re: 87 intake by dan0617 on 2009/9/2 17:30:27 rayquale, yes, thank you. USM was what I couldn't remember. Guess I should have read the links instead of just reading the posts. I would strongly consider this if you are looking for bolt on and go. Price is way too salty for me though. Don't forget about also needing a small cap distributor and remote mount coil. If you are looking for budget, consider an LT1 conversion intake. Here is something else to ponder if you don't have enough choices to mull over already, and this might very well be the cheapest route other than a carb swap: I've often wondered if it would be worth it to put a throttle body injection on, like off a stock '94 or so Chevy truck or maybe an aftermarket Edelbrock one, then put a nice intake under it to suit the powerband of the cam and the rest of the combo. Would be no distribution issues. Would still work with the stock HEI distributor. Would need the computer and wiring harness from a stock TBI vehicle, which are readily available at about any junk yard. Would also open the door for a future 4L60E swap since the computer would have all the controls for that. I'd love to be able to go into the tune and change my part throttle and WOT shift points!  Now I got me pondering again too. |
