Default Anyone have a 1993 Intake Lying Around?

I hate to post up on the tech forum, but I am in desperate need of a fuel rail setup for a 1993 style intake. The 1993 is totally different from the 94 up stuff I have. This in the only thing keeping me from finishing up the car and I can't find one anywhere. I will gladly buy the fuel rails if someone has the intake or fuel rails lying around. Pm me here or email me at whontime@yahoo.com Thanks.

I first searched 1992 Corvette Intake, then 93, then 1993 Firebird Intake, then 1993 LT1 Fuel and BINGO! Glad I could help, AND It's polished

Nothing. I picked up a set of ported heads with a port matched/milled intake a while back for an engine build. After I got the engine assembled I realized that my 1994 up fuel rail would not fit the intake. 1993 intakes are different from the later style in that they don't have the recessed groove for the front crossover. Thats the only difference as far as I know. Performance wise it doesn't matter.

note: no adjustable fuel pressure regulators that are claimed as 93-97 will work on a 93 intake/fuel rail setup, it has to be 93 only! aeromotive,accel,holly, they all dont work with 93 setups! just thought i would spread the word!

I'd think the 93 flows better w/o the crossover in the front, but I doubt there's a diff. Or one worth mentioning.
