Default Edelbrock LT4 Intake

Well, for all of you that are waiting for a reasonably priced (under 800) LT4 intake. Edelbrock is going to make available their Air Gap LT4 and LT1 intake manifolds. I saw them on display at SEMA this morning. I spoke with the man himself and he says that they will become available after the first of the year.

Sweet, I'll have to let my LT1 Z28 buddy know.

Any word on the McLeod clutch stuff?

You must be having a blast man!

Just like he said before that they would be out by Nov. And just like before that they would be out by end of summer. And before that I forget, but it's been "the month after next" for at least a year now.

Tom, do you have any numbers or other info yet on how these stack up to a stocker and a ported stocker?

I wish I was there. Did they have it on display? Pictures? Take some photos for us if you see any neat corvette stuff.

Thanks

Sadly enough, just a couple of years ago I could have bought new stock LT4 intakes for $185.

I did. Then sold it last Dec when the craziness hit.

One of the best ROI I've ever gotten. Wish I'd bought more...

Seeing as how there's about a billion more gen 1 and 2 smallblock 350s than the entire LSX line, you'd think someone would've jumped on that by now. Maybe there's more to it than I can forsee, such as liscensed use of making a similar casting.
