i picked up a 6.1 intake what do i need to put it on a 5.7:bootysha:
Yes a ported 5.7 head will outflow a stock 6.1 head but for the same money you could have ported 6.1 heads and outflow most high dollar heads for the other guys motors. I have spoke to Dave before too and he is milking this thing for all it's worth.I did some chatting with Dave Weber at Modern Muscle about buying a 6.1 intake. Here is what he wrote:
"The best way to go would be to port your 5.7 head and do some rework on the plastic intake. We offer a ported 5.7 big valve head that will out flow a 6.1 head. The original plastic intake will make more bottom end than the 6.1 with adapters. Give me a call if you want to discuss a complete package for your car."
Something to think about...
do you still have the program to do another set?Here is my adapter for using a truck engine and car intake. They are 1.5 inches tall, which gives ya 1/4 inch above the truck timing cover for tb clearence. They were machined on a cnc at work and uses the stock gaskets. Material cost was 70 bones for the billet and 3 hours of machine time. Fab a couple of brackets for the alt. and ac compressor and your in busness. These will help tremedously with the low end torque.
how much to make up a set?Yes, I still have the program.
Now the runners are longer and I'll make more low end torque. Seems like a fair trade to me.
