looks like big block cross draft weber manifold. Strip it or paint it aluminum and it will look nice

Just curious how the L-82 ran with heads and intake? Did you do a cam as well and which one? How does it run with the changes. The L-82 is a great platform for performance...

bolded ,,,,agree


Above is kind of cool looking:-)... but i do not think it is the same intake.. the chrome one you posted looks like a lot lower profile.

where as the blue one looks more.... well... not as clean and refined.

It is a Crossram set up for FI not webers. The plates on the end had plenum boxes bolted to it with dual throttle bodies on the front. The studs on top hold the fuel rail and you can see the injector hole on the last pic to the left side of the #7 runner. It was originally on a twin turbo boat engine. That other pic with webers is a SBC manifold, that's why they don't look the same
