new intake on the block
maybe it just me but form the bottem looks like the older fast lower?..I mean it even has the wilson burst plate in the casting. and the TB flange looks to just have a backed sqare nut, not the GM inserts.
ya more I look at it looks like a fast 90 copy they tried to make the top look GM, Looks like the top is not bonded, look at the rear top shell bolts, and the bottem on the sides of the TB neck.
but the outside dosnt mean much.
edit, ive spend alot of hours on FAST 90/92 and gm's cutting, epoxy,porting. The lower IS a copy of the FAST pre rev.J lower. They copied parts of the casting they dont even need for that intake. like the top dosn't use the perimeter bolts, but look at that rear view, the lower still has the outside tabs for them? lol Im betting its glued/bonded together, someone has to get one and see. That style fast had the split runners with the insert part, was the inlet and the lower section of the runners. And the top of the runners was the bottem of the lid, bolted lower shell that had the head port openings. If they copied the bottom i dont think its going to have the bolt in runners the LSx styles do. It might be a turd might be better then a LS6 even? somone has to get one and see of it dose or try to take it apart?
And its been a few years maybe the old patent or whatever ran out (10 years? 15 years...? fast came out 2004???) it might be legal to just copy it, or FAST/comp won't caer that haven't made the old parts for years anyway. They sold all the parts they had like 5 years ago anyone to this other ABC? or somthing auto parts wholesaller

its not going to be the same inside, so dont start saying it a copy of a fast. Just the lower shell looks like it. looking at it more is the back even looks like, it still the groove for the top/lower gasket along the back. haha
The top is looks different, but it dose look to do the humpy hump runner the fast always had not as much but its there.
edit, ya check out the summit pics, the lower shell, even still has the "rev J" in the casting and the paten number, that a fast had. haha
