WTB: Vortec TPI base or Vortec HSR

Update: found an intake on Craigslist

Anybody have a TPI base (Edelbrock or SPDC) for Vortec heads? If so, let me know how much you want for it!

If you can, send me a PM incase I don't get to this thread as often as I should.

Thanks

Re: WTB: Vortec TPI base

I have a Vortec combo. I have a set of built ported vortecs. The rocker studs have to be cut down for the camaro. I have all new Manley springs retainers. The base manifold has been mild ported as a port match. Im looking for 1,000 for the vortec combo. There the jbest Gm Vortec out there.

Re: WTB: Vortec TPI base

Re: WTB: Vortec TPI base or Vortec HSR

Was the intake just drilled for the different bolt holes, or was material added above the ports so that the vortec intake port shape could be properly formed on the intake?

Re: WTB: Vortec TPI base or Vortec HSR

bump back to the first page. Motor is coming out of the IROC in the next couple weeks, and shortly after that I'll be needing the intake. I'll buy new if I have to, but if anybody has something used at the right price, please let me know!

Re: WTB: Vortec TPI base or Vortec HSR

Saw one on the board today. ...the guy emailed me pics. I'm probably gonna pass in favor of another intake manifold I've been wheelin' and dealin' on.

Re: WTB: Vortec TPI base or Vortec HSR

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm very leary of ported stuff, but it doesn't hurt to get pics and see what it looks like.

Yeah, the manifold itself looked siamesed a little, which I'm not too fond of.

Yeah, I just found the pics in my spam folder. That Siamesing will undermine my desire for low rpm TPI torque.
