Intake manifold options
Hey folks, working on my 80 Camaro that has 89 Corvette L98 heads. Looking for an intake manifold setup for a carb that will fit these late model 350 heads. I tried looking on summit and jegs, and couldn't find it. I know they're out there, I saw them a few years ago, just don't remember who makes 'em. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Vette alum L98 heads have the same bolt angle as all the early SBC engine ; don't have the canted center bolt holes like on the '87+F-bodies ( cast heads )
so any SBC manifold should fit.
The determing factor is the HEIGHT with carb in regards to hood clearance.
If you look at most manufacters listings for '55-'86 intakes they state :
"Not for 1987 and later cast iron heads. Will fit 1987 and later stock aluminum head"
Not LT1 obviously.
