There's a smoking cheap single plane efi on racingjunk. It's not converted to LT1 pattern but it's CHEAP and it's an excellent manifold.

You can either run SBC heads converted to reverse cooling with SBC intake, convert the bolt spacing on SBC heads to LT1 for an LT1 intake(not really recommended), or convert the LT1 intake to SBC bolt spacing to run any SBC intake on an LT1 head.
If using LT1 heads, you can convert either the intake or heads to SBC style.

Who did the Lt1 coversion for you on the intake? Lookin to get one made like yours, without the water neck and stuff. thanks
Shaved the water neck, converted it, welded in injector bungs/fuel rail mounts, fully ported and clover leafed it, and cut out the lifter valley portion and replaced it with a Carbon Fiber heat shield.
It is a work of art inside and out!
GTP did it back in the day. It was Sikora's.

They literally machined out the whole bottom portion of the intake, then bolted/epoxied in a flat carbon fiber shield to isolate the intake from engine heat.
Not sure if its something I would do myself if I was converting an intake - IMO its probably more for looks then performance, and that is a lot of money and work for something that I doubt is actually worth much unless you hot lap like crazy. I would have to dig it out of a box to take more pictures, but you can see it pretty good in this old picture:

Lol I was supposed to break it in/tune it on the engine dyno sometime in November and have the car on the road by New Year's, but I picked up another LT1 to DD that I need to do a few things to first. The poor Z28 gets pushed back another month or so now

Puck.....my 61 has gotten pushed back for years while messing with LT1's and other projects. I finally pulled the 427 out about 7 months ago for a refresh...and it is still not together. All machine work is done and the parts are ready to go....just didn't have the time to get it back together and in yet....then while on bed rest for pneumonia for 3 weeks I found some things I've always wanted for it: 409 package deal from one guy about 150 miles north of me and a package deal on brand new 409 Edelbrock heads and other parts about 125 miles East of me.
That was back in late July and since then I have been able to get more done on getting the 409 put together and ready to go in than months and even years before. (Even though I was still sick for most of the weeks since.) I credit it all to taking time to write down a plan/budget and strictly sticking to it. Each and every part (or machine shop service) was listed out along with each part I could sell to offset the expenses. I even listed dates that I hoped to sell or buy each thing by. It has worked out GREAT!!
Hoping by the end of the year to have a 474"-482", solid roller W motor running by the end of the year....almost entirely funded by spare parts I would have probably never gotten around to using.

Thanks.. didn't mean to get into all of that, but wanted to say I know what it's like for a project to slip into a comma and offer what is working for me to keep this one on track for a change.
