So looking for hood. Previous post suggested ACI. Seems to have good rep. 4-5 hour drive from home. I mean who wouldn't want to go to Toledo in the summer?
Thanks,

Trust no one - measure carefully - this is an LS motor so it sits a little high

Thanks,
As I write not sure what intake engine builder included. They removed identification. Expect an Edelbrock. Vortec heads seems to be part of problem. Have a 2101 on existing engine, worked well. Will look into Performer.
