Default Anyone think we can port a Vic Jr intake to match up with L92 head?

I've got a victor jr intake but I havent had a l92 head yet to put it up against and see if the victor jr will open up far enough to match up.


Anyone have a l92 head and victor jr and can match them up and see what you think?? If I can port the vic jr to match up then its good to go... after that fully port the intake to flow up with the l92's (330cfm), would make some KILLER power.....

hmmmmm

Why would they need permission? They aren't copying any trademarks or geometry(other than head bold pattern) than anyone else isn't already doing. This would be the same as making sheet metal intakes.

You can make a carb intake fit. But you have to epoxy the and reweld the runners. I dont care to get into what it all entails, but alot of hours of work.

I believe that GM is the customer for this intake. Much like the LS1 carb intake Wegner makes and sold as a GMPP unit.

Do you think for an injected motor that will b eturbo later down the road using this carb intake with the L92 heads will be any better than the aussie L92 car intake? Using a 1000 or 1200 CFM 4 barrel EFi TB on the carb intake.

I read that in testing the carb intake and the car EFi intake, they made very similair power numbers and power curves.
