FAST 78 repair
Anyone know where a FAST intake parts can be gotten?
I have a FAST intake that was installed with the wrong valley pan bolts and put dimples and 2 or 3 cracks in the bottom pan of the FAST intake.
So a choice of repairing the pan with epoxy or replacing the pan with a used one or new one is the only opitions to save a otherwise good FAST 78 intake.
Thanks for the input..

Even the color is the same...LOL
Make sure you clean the area after you sand and prep it with Brake Clean or something similar to remove any grease or oils. A new pan costs alot of money and the JB Weld will be a permanent repair if applied correctly.
Good luck...

FAST Repaired
Thanks to the information from Tony Mamo and Bill Curlee on how to repair the FAST intake cracks, I have it repaired and sealed. So now I'm thinking a little larger cam than the 02 LS6 cam and reinstalling the FAST to see what I will get out of it.
Thanks Tony
