There already seems to be a vertical stack model available, but the one being worked on was/is a cross-ram style for LS7 heads. There didn't seem to be much enthusiasm for it in this community, people were balking at the price. But to me, $3K to make a big cam drivable is not such a bad deal at all, compared to the $$ I just shelled out for an LS7 crate motor.

The expense is beyond most people's budgets, but like many things if you can afford it the benefits are big. You can run a 250 @ .050 cam with small LSA, and still idle and drive great. Considering some folks ante up nearly $2k just for headers, this is actually pretty good value on a high dollar build. And it's not a ripoff - consider the fact that you're buying 8 precision machined throttle bodies instead of one, and you can see where the manufacturing costs come from.

Building a large box with a huge filtering area really isn't an option in the F-body chasis, so i believe the 8 filters will work best. I plan to install the intake and buy the biggest/longest filters I can fit. I'm limited to 4"s in diameter because of the trumpet spacing, and I'm hoping I can fit a 5" to 6" long in there. Hopefully that will be enough for 1 cylinder.
Kinsler LS1/2/6 intake.....$10,000 Just spoke to them.
Harrop it is.
Have you measured to see how the Harrop will fit under the cowl?

As for fitment, another member/shop owner posted picks of the Harrop in a TA. He said it fit fine. I figured it would from the measuments Harrop sent me.

I know Kinsler is a really great quality product but has anyone ever seen or delt with this ITB manifold. They claim to have a LS1 Intake but I have never seen it. The shop I work for just ordered one for a Ford 351W based engine we are building. They are MUCH cheaper than kinsler... at least for the FORD stuff.
