SBC Single plane intake to fit LTX
#3
I used a Super Vic and the four corner bolts align enough to bolt in, the four bolts that were just inside need the holes moved just a little bit, and I ended up not worrying about the center four bolts.
Also you have to spot face the bolt holes so that you aren't trying to tighten the bolts down on an uneven surface.
All you need is a buddy with a milling machine and it is simple work. Even a drill press would work enough.

Do you want it with a carbon fiber floor like that? Whoever did that one spent a lot of time on it. They machined off the water neck very nicely. A typical shop charges about $300 to convert one. Off of the top of my head, AI , and Bret Bauer can do it, and have done many others.

Looks like a Bret intake, not sure if he does them anymore buy like stated any competent machine shop can make it fit. Things like carbon lifter valley cover and shaved waterneck will cost extra.

i did mine on a friends bridgeport and finished it in my shop.....eliminating the water neck is unneeded mine is still intact........at this point its not worth all the work for the 2lb loss.......heres a couple pics of mine with the water neck still in tact.........its out of the box and ported, plus drilled for lt1 bolt pattern and milled to fit my deck height which is normal for any intake...........the middle two bolts i drilled and tapped the heads with the sbc pattern because the lt1 bolts end up too close to the runners and cant be installed properly........

I dont care about the carbon fiber in the center. More about having the water neck cut off and drilled to fit the heads. i like the clean look with out the water neck. I found a couple on ebay that were already done but missed out.
