Get an intake, hit up Nitrous Outlet. I think that Dave can source the fab work.

I got a spare set of heads I could give him to measure it out. Would it be easier to drill the heads?

Drilling the heads is easier ya.

!Waterneck and the work it takes to drill the intake for LT1 stuff is not that easy from what I understand, but if you get a good guy its simple. Should run like $600.

Did all the work in my own shop, no fancy tools or anthing. Then had the holes tig welded up and powdercoated the intake. Even built the top aluminum peice to accept the plenum ported intake as well as the monoblade. If you have time do it yourself, and Id start with a vortec Super Vic before that Vic E if your serious.

Why is that?
I'd take a larger runner/ larger plenum Super Vic over the Vic E on most apps.
I really like mine.

Roadtrip has a killer Supervic setup just like mine for sale at a hell of a good price, complete with a nice elbow and fuel rails.

I think it has your name on it.
