Guys I need to decide on a manifold for this engine. I was thinking Edelbrock or Sheetmetal. I am in need of a recommendation. I was thinking Edelbrock jr. but I am worried it will choke the 454ci motor..any sheetmetal intakes out there under 2 grand?

If you hogged out a Vic JR intake enough for 255cc heads, I'm not certain there would be any aluminum left. I also think you would need a serious "buddy" hookup to find a sheetmetal intake for much under 3k. I doubt you will get a lot of responses here, as this question should really be in the external engine forum.

Spend a little extra and get one made. It will be worth it.

beck sheetmetal intakes run 2400 with rails and what not. they are a very nice piece and if you send him your cylinder heads he will port match your intake to them

good luck

with all you have invested now just get the sheetmetal...

Ported fast intakes with cathedral heads are doing 600+ rwhp. no need for a sheetmetal IMO.

Wrong.... (Dont mean ANY disrespect)

I personally ran a ported FAST AND Sheetmetal on my LSx 454 and the FAST fell lfat on its face.

I say the Beck w/our 100mm billet TB....awesome power combo on big cubes.

The valve covers are GMPP parts. We have a set in stock if you want. Call JP: 813-628-0080

Ive tried them all!!!! You well end up going back to a Fast 90/90 combo. It really is the best intake manifold for any cathedral port head. The Victor Jr. would only be a CONSIDERATION if your planning on doing a direct port or a carb plate setup. But as far as N/A goes....FAST for the win!!!
