Default Paging Mark, and/or any tech guys

Hey buddy, if I remember correctly you have a Vic jr ported? Who did your porting? Can you give me a run down like which elbow and TB you are using.
I have one coming and have a NO elbow which I think will fit under the hood of a stock c5? Can you post a pic for insight? Have ya run it yet, if so, comments?
Robert

You would probly have to get a custom elbow, the C5 hood has no clearance for single planes.

Here is the elbow I have, supposedly will fit under the stock c5 hood, but haven't been able to verify this yet. To much $$ for a custom hood as this hobby is breaking me. Maybe just a hole in the hood for now?


Edit: What are you doing for coil covers? anyone have suggestions or ideas?

I bought an elbow from IntakeElbows.com. I plan to use my stock 78mm TB. There is supposed to be one that fits Vettes, just don't recall which one. PM Bob @ EPP, he should know.

And I had Mike at Accurate Engines in Kirkland port match mine. HE did a great job...no #s yet. As for FRCs, they don't fit. You might try the locla guy in Mukilteo, he makes a nice set of valve covers with coil covers.

Good luck!!!

Thanks Mark. Sweet covers. I just wonder if we can make hoses from each cover to catch cans work on the coil cover style? What are you using?
