China knock off the casting looks horrible.

 

Ok you guys just talked me into it. I just bought mine, heck I'm all about saving a little money.

 

+1
jr has been proven to be better option over the gmpp, with a carb. and jr comes with ls1 captive gasket oring design

and these are cathedral port, even though they look like square. originally designed for carb. only.
thats why there missing the roof notch area for injector

 

It's not a china knockoff

 

well, even so, 95 bucks can't be beat. You can do a lil massaging in the port to smooth things out to make it flow a bit smoother. Just don't **** up the shape of the port

 

Just ordered mine. I'll check it out when it arrives.

 

Agreed. Looking forward to getting mine....

 

man,, im thinking about getting one for my turbo 5.3,,, im going to a blowthru carb setup... wonder how it would do under boost, holds up...

 

I don't see why it would hold up any differently than any other intake... As long as you have good gaskets and bolts, i don't see any problem at all.

 

i just picked one up. seems like a real good deal.

 

sale ended, if any one get theirs, and change their mind let a brotha know.

 

I scooped one for a turbo 5.3, I'll see if I'm going to use it when it gets here. Going to have it drilled for injectors and go efi and a plate setup too

 

i just ordered an injected one, he has 6 left, definately a good deal

 

i just got mine and it looks great! seems like it hasn,t even beed used.

 

Got mine in today also. Looks good but got two questions, I new to the carb intake stuff where do I get gaskets and bolts?

 

from gmpp,
installation same operation as if it were a sbc motor.

 

in case you missed it last time here it is again

5 left

 

i already bought one.. waiting for it to get here..

 

i bought one of the ones drilled for inj. if i ever switch over-came with bolts and instructions (has gasket #s)
my Edelbrock uses the mega dollar GM o ring gaskets (i tried the orange ones that were 1/2 the costs, but "melt" and dont hold up-the Edelbrock has cracked a couple times around the o rings, i had to weld it up
i ordered a couple of the $95 ones, the GM intake is a little lower and uses the i piece gasket, so i might switch over to the GM intake
for those that need a gasket, they list FelPro #1312-2 as a .045 thick,
FelPro #1312-3 as a .060 thick, and SCE gasket #211134 as .060 thick
