Well being a yank the stock Xflow intake is being a pain to me. the runners won't clear the shock tower bracing on the fairlane (motor is on the stock mounts but sits on the swaybar and steering linkage so needs to come up making this worse)
I was thinking of using my spare EFI injector boss and rail to be paired with a fabbed plenum.
but then it hit me....just use the CAIN 4bbl intake I have with the stock fuel rail and have some injector bungs welded into it (or maybe epoxied since I cna do that at home)
I looked into a fabbed intake and it looks liek in materials I would have around $100 in a mild steel one or a couple hundred in a AL one (plus welding costs since I have no tig)
opinions? I was just thinking a cast AL elbow (since there are a dozen on the market) to take care of the throttle body (some are even dual pattern for a 5.0 or LS1 TB....could always use it on my truck if I swap intakes on it)
