Intake swaps, need info..
Ok, Can someone tell me what all is involved in converting my 1990 L-98 from the TPI intake over to the newer LT1 look? Engine runs fine, but I've had this car foever and kinda like the look of the LT1's...this engine is strong and pretty much trouble free, but I'd like to at least update the look of the engine to something a bit more modern. I've been told it's nothing to serious, but was wondering what kinda $$$ I'm looking at and what all is involved before undertaking this kind of swap...anyone have the line on this?? Appreciate the help, thanks!~C4>Maverick

I've got a friend who put one of these conversions on a ***** out '85. That SOB sounds good. Can't wait to see it hit the track.

To be honest, thats a lot of work just for a new look. I'd guess it would be a full weekend project if you really had your ducks in a row. May be better off maybe getting new valve covers and powder coating the TPI. When something works well, it may not be good to change it.
Just my 2 cents.
