Alien Intake

So I know nobody has ran these intakes on an LT1 but they would look pretty badass. Do you think they would work well on LT1'4's? They look pretty expensive!

IMO this is not a new intake. Lengenfelter had a intake like this. I think it was called the SuperRam. Big Plenum identical intake port locations/design. It was big with the third gens but thats about it.

The vid is blocked here but what's all that crap on the back? I can't make it out in the small pics. Is this fuel injected? Where are the injector bungs?

Fuel rails, injectors, secondary fuel lines are all built inside. Thats not crap in the back. Those are your fuel regulators, passage ways for the fuel. Throttle body is even built in the alien intake. Dont know the price but anything over 4 figures wouldnt surprise me with how much this intake is!

I think they would. There not as tall as the LS9 or LSA SC intakes. I read an article where they put an LS9 into a 4th gen. If they can fit an LS9 then im sure they could fit the Alien intake. From what is looks like on that blue SBC it looks like its about maybe an inch taller then a stock LT1 intake.

I see no price on their website but I bet it's at least $2000 for just the intake alone.

I've been eyeballing an old Edelbrock TR1 tunnel ram intake thinking it could very easily converted and looks like it would fit better than the stealthram. Wish I could get some detailed measurements.
