Great looking intakes. I was thinking of doing the same thing so thanks for the pictures!

 

 

Damn, that looks good!

 

Thank you too bad it wont fit under my hood

 

If you are just going to throw it away, I'll pay for the shipping lol

 

I'm curious where do you run a map sensor?

 

I threaded a fitting in the manifold on dr rear. I was going to make a vacume "log" and run most vacume needs off of it

 

Im getting ready to do this. Wish me luck lol I dont think im gonna get all wild like you guys did. Im just gonna remove most of the clutter.

 

Ha ha. That's what I said

 

Might check the classifieds I saw a smoothed truck intake in there for 100-150 cant remember. I wouldn't do it again for that amount its a lot of work to get to a finished product!!!

 

Cut a hole in the hood!

Did you ever do a mock-up with the harness installed? I'd like to see a good example of how to really clean up a truck motor for street rod use.

 

How true ! I have at least 30 hours in mine and its not finished yet, but about half of that time is porting.

 

this is as close as i got i ran all the wiring under the intake then out to coils the coils fit nice an snug between runners and i put aftermarket rais in and ran the injectors facing inward for the wiring from under the intake

 

Chad,

Sorry to chime in so late but for bonding the Nylon 6/6 look into the Loctite or Plexus adhesives. You'll need to check the charts but there are adhesives that will hold to the point that the nylon will tear apart before the bond fails. At work we use adhesives on numerous plastics bonded to various metals with excellent results.

For bonding nylon (AKA polyamide) to nylon look here on page 34. http://www.exdron.com/Specs/Loctite%20Plastics.pdf

For bonding it to metal you'll need to do a bit more research but the materials are out there.

anyone wanna by a complete truck intake from an 01 Tahoe 5.3

 

is everyone just using bondo to plug the holes?

 

NO , they should be properly prepared and fiberglassed.

 

They shouldn't be bondo or fiberglassed, should be plastic welded with the same material.

I would only use a shaved intake or a mild NA motor, certainly nothing on a lot of spray or boost.

 

Spray would be fine, and boost...well, I wouldn't run a lot on my intake, but I'm sure it would hold up to 10 or so PSI without protest.
