Intake elbow, where to get one?? The intake elbow on my 93 lt1 is cracked all over and is letting air in and what not. I need to find a new one and would prefer one without that long tube part and goes in front of the water pump. Does anyone know where I can get a nice affordable one?

Another route is, buddy of mine and I found you can take a piece of thick walled diesel exhaust 3.5" and gently press the one end to make it an oval, cost us like $10

^^Thats a better price..but that still seems like alot for a single piece...
Maybe someone has a used one they can sell me but if not then I will probably go with the ebay one.

Well, we found two routes, one is to basically build up some weld around where it went and then drill it. We also found a little rubber grommet and jsut drilled it. And for a third option you can reloate both of those up stream closer to the filter, there are actually some gans to be had moving the IAT closer to the filter, as it will read colder and allow the computer to add in some timing.
