I never said that there were 'so many'.

I said you could maybe get $300 for one.

The link provided above means little until/unless it's bid for at that price. And as far as them selling for $300 or any other price, interesting that there's only one for sell on E-bay......at any price.

never said and LT1 was an LT4, well they are about 80% of them anyways.
LT1 heads are what brought it up. you can get an F body LT1 or caprice for $500
the vette LT1 is going for around $700-800
remember, flint is full of junk, so the junk yards are full of easy pickings.

Default AFR's with LT4 intake?

I didn't know an LT4 manifold would port match AFR heads. I know the ports are raised in the LT4 compaired to the LT1's so an LT4 manifold won't fit an LT1 head. Does AFR make a special version that will match the raised port or are they just so big anyway that the LT4 manifold fits?

I was looking to spend $2500-3500 or so for a good clean running LT4 with all accessories. Ended up doing a rebuild but I think those who claim an LT4 has only $500 more value are

Yeah, that POS is not worth full price. So it looks like 400 would be about right since the price of NICE LT4 intakes are about 600.

Try again.

Because it has been stripped by who knows what means, and looks like crap.

Just because Jerry Jackass from ebay is willing to spray paint it for you doesn't mean anything.

Just because Mekanic Jackass says it "looks like crap" doesn't mean anything .

Bottom line, it's gonna perform the same as any other stock LT4 intake.

Including the POS $600+ intake you linked .......

Some jokers just can't admit when their wrong .

A corvette with horrible paint, no carpet, a missing top and broken headlights will be just as fast as an NCRS one.

Does that mean the basket case is worth the same amount?

Go back to whatever hole you came from please.

I catn believe LTx motors sell for what they do, seems to me its safer just to rebuild what you have.
Too bad theres no aftermarket support for them in the way of blocks, etc. Real similar to the LT5, limited support.

What blos me away is that 113 heads bring good money all day long but a set of LT1 heads can be picked up all day long for $200 a pair, and $100 for an intake.

Sold for $400 (still less than an Edelbrock) with either a fresh paint job or the intake ports opened to 58mm.

Like I said......some people just can't admit when they're wrong.

Damn...looks like that LT4 intake and throttlebody sold for $625.

I did not think it would still sell for that much. I really thought they'd drop around the price of the Edelbrock.

While I'm also very surprised that a person bidded on it, I will hazzard a small bet that the TB and port job had a bit to do with it.

I think LE and AI each charge about $175 to $200 for their porting services.....

First you state it is a POS $600 intake, and then when you're proven wrong on all counts, you state reasons why the intake is suddenly worth the price.
You don't want to be accused of being one of those people who can't admit when they're wrong do you?
