No sir, a filled/welded intake is against the rules in ES NA. It's a 93 intake with 94-97 fuel rails that I modified. In the last pic, you can see the -6 fitting coming out of the sides...thats the crossover

Look for the black -6 AN fittings coming out of the side of the fuel rails, the hose loops around the back of the intake (EGR stuff has been cut off and welded shut, so LOTS of room back there)

Looks like I'm not even going to the shootout. Oh well.
Was going to be driving the '97/'69, but he's heading to AZ to buy a trailer this weekend.

You're right on demon... No doubt you would have kicked everyone's ***.

Nope. I'm leaving for the LTxshootout in a matter of minutes, then when I get home still not gonna have much time because we're moving. It'll probably be a few weeks before I get the motor out and torn down to see what truly went wrong. But, in the meantime I'm gonna go ahead and drop my spare block at the machine shop...
