Re: Using an lt1 intake on a normal sbc (nsimmons)
You know - that brings up an interesting thought. Would it be worth while at all to go through the trouble to try and switch the opti- to a regular distributor? I think there might be some clearance problems with the hood, but, could this work? I mean, if you go to the dealer - I have heard upwards of $600 to replace an opti. Could you switch it to a new fancy distributor for that price - or does the computer and everything complicate it all beyond its worth?????
