Default L-31 head and intake combo.

I have a 79 L-82 and a set of vortech heads that I want to put on I need to find out wich intake will fit under the hood. Does any body here have this set up ? What intake are you running? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

An Edelbrock Performer should fit, no problem.

The Edelbrock Performer RPM should fit with a drop base air cleaner. There's a GM piece identical to it. Those are the only two that allow for hot water to be pumped under the carb to help with cold starts.
