I picked up my newest piece of engine jewelry yesterday, from Beck's here in Houston. I had John build a custom 1 of 1 billet CNC runner cross-ram style intake, to dress up the 427ci LS7 that I am putting in my pro-touring 1969 Camaro SS. We went with longer runners than normal to give a nice boost in midrange torque, since this car will be a cruiser. I wanted something more exotic on top of this engine, other than a factory style intake.
Here are some pics of Beck's shop where he builds the intakes and CNC billet parts.
I like it a lot Tony. The long runners will help make monster mid-range torque. Should breathe well up high based on how well the Beck manifolds flow. This approach to having the plenum on top vs. bottom would make this difficult to fit in a 4th Gen F-body or C5/6, but for your 1st gen, it makes all the sense in the world.

Great design layout. That's the style of intake runner I've had running in my mind for several years now. I'm just not the guy to build it. Gongratulations to Beck's for engineering and executing such a functional intake.
We used beck back in the early 90's when we were going after more power on the little 5.0's we were building...John is a very nice gentlemen with killer skillzs...Great Piece Tony, good work John

$4K range actually, since it was the first one built and a lot of CNC programming and calculations were used.
Thats a fair price for what you received. What a work of art. VERY curious to how the power curve is effected by this intake.

Edge juice w/attitude, intake, magnaflow turbo back, trans go jr. shift kit Dont talk ****, unless you have **** worth talking about
sweet , now put a air to water cooler under there and that would be sweet (NOT THAT IT ISNT ALREADY )
Gonna have to call Becks tomorrow. Thanks Tony , LOL !!!!!!!!
