Only thing to watch with an LT1 intake on an LT4 is the sealing surface at the top of the port gets very narrow because the LT1 intake lacks material as compared to the LT4. That is why GM added material there not for port matching as others have said, true it does allow port matching an LT4 intake to LT4 heads but that is not what GM was thinking about when they cast a whole seperate intake.

Hello, I'm new 
to here, I own a 95 z28 with the t56 6 speed and the LT1 v8. I found a good website for the differences between the LT1 and LT4 in general, including the intakes. http://www.grandsportregistry.com/lt1vslt4.htm
According to that, the biggest difference is the material, along with the raised runners. The main reason the LT4 was better was head design, which is shown using a nice cross - section comparison.
Hope that helps someone.

If things are actually this close to being down to the wire, does anybody find it a bit suspicious that Edelbrock hasn't released any info regarding dyno tests for this thing? I mean, if they've gone as far as to authorize vendors to start taking people's money, even if they miss their target ship date they've still gotta be pretty damn close to being released. This intake debuted at SEMA 2005: two years ago. I find it very hard to believe that in that timeframe they haven't had an opportunity to get some baseline dyno #'s established.
Last I checked, (correct me if I'm wrong), both Lloyd Elliot and Advanced Induction offered full race ported stock intakes for $225. You can bolt on 30-40HP with a set of ceramic coated Pacesetter longtubes and Y-pipe for around $500.
For $537, this intake had better make an LT1 walk on water.

They told me that at the earliest it would be available would be March, but probably later.

Yes, they have a few display pieces, but those are not production pieces.
