and was wondering how this would work as an alternate manifold for our trucks and yes i saw it's not a vortec bolt patern

Re: another idea for an intake

you could modify it to work with vortecs the same way everyone modifies the stock syty intake for vortecs.

Re: another idea for an intake

dont really see the point. It requires just as much if not more work than stockers do.

Not Bad, except cast iron. Pretty hard to weld injector bungs into. I have seen many of these intakes on marine apps, but they seem to crack very easily.

Re: another idea for an intake

I had one of the aluminum Holley ones, sold it to somebody and not sure they put it into a SyTy. You *could* have it modified to work with Vortec heads just like the stock lower intake, but you also have to buy all the other upper intake replacement parts.

Bottom line is that it could be made to work, but you should decide on if it will work better than what you have in order to make it worth your while. I realized it wasn't worth it for me, so I sold mine.

Does anyone make a 4.3 Vortec carbstyle intake with injector bungs?

I'm running a Victor Jr. carb style intake with injector bungs, on my LS1 with a wilson Elbow & Nick Williams Throttle body.

I've been wondering if I can get a Vortec carb style intake to do the same with on my Sy?

Second one down, made for old style blocks with Vortec heads, anyone use it? I thought about it before I went V8...

Re: another idea for an intake

i'm curious though if the dual plane would help/hurt or just not do anything in our application

Re: another idea for an intake

that intake is the same one I am using for my intake buildup. I plan to offer two types: one for the VORTEC heads, and one for the L35's/stockers. The difference in intake manifolds is like $60 cheaper for the old style. Then I also plan to offer a few size choices in TB for them too. It's been taking me a little longer than planned, because the machinist is on vacation until next Monday. I'm kinda at his mercy!

Check out more info in the GP thread "intake option for VORTEC heads"

The 2nd one down is the one I'm running on my LS1 car, I wish that they had something like this for V6 Vortec's. With the Vortec heads & Victor Jr. intake you may be able to make some good RPM's.
