I would look on places like Racingjunk not only for already converted intakes, but for dirt cheap SBC ones since there are shops that will do all sorts of cool things to them when they convert them for our engines like port, powder coat, cut the thermostat housing, or even cut the lifter valley cover out to replace with something that wont heat soak like carbon fiber.

No Its going to be a simple rear mount 76.. After posting i talked to a couple of local friends and everybody agreed that the stock intake and some 60 pounders would support 500-600rwhp.. I was thinking that i did not want to spend any money on modding the factory one . I would go ahead and step up now and spend any money on that...Butt looks like i will be alright .... When i get the turbo hung Im going to start a build thread
