My 93 going to 8 stack system
My winter project is now in view. I will be removing the OEM intake system and replacing it with an 8 stack injection system that includes a FiTech Ultra EFI Management System and harness. Can any of you point me to the things needed to co-use the existing ECM, sensors,etc. This is a major undertaking for this old man, but one I have decided needs to happen....looks and sounds are terrific. My car will mostly be street driven, and is an automatic....Thanks all for you help

Manifold is shipped
I have checked here Australia and the UK, and no body still makes the manifold portion, or kit. That is why I will have to use the older SBC. There a lot of LS, Ford, Mopar etc even BBC, but no LT1. Just not a popular engine, but thats what is in my 93...I may have to (ugh) go LS, but then would have to significant increase my budget.
Update, I just spoke to the folks at Speedmasters, and they do have a manifold that was somehow not part of a kit, so purchased it, and it should arrive next week. So I will know whether or not I will be able to retain my stock engine.

You could try to find an LT1-specific superram (base and runners) and adapt throttles to the runners somehow, or fab some custom runners for this purpose.
Maybe just put 40 mm throttle blades on a shaft right in the runner and convert the runner to a throttle body.

Yes,the hood would have a definite opening, but as done in the past (Ferrari/Maserati etc) would put a clear plastic shaped cover that serves as an air intake. Forming such a piece will be a bit of a task to get the plastic to melt right.
