Hi,
I'm new to this forum but not to Novas. In college I had a 63 ChevyII 300 series with a 250 6cyl, 2 speed powerglide both from a 67 Malibu. I put an HEI distributor in it and drove it everyday for about ten years. I sold it to buy a 70 Caprice, which was a mistake. Sold that and bought a 95 Impala SS. Now it's time for it to find a new home.
For my next project I'm going to build a Yenko Duece replica. It most likely won't have a real LT-1 in it, but I'm pretty sure that with the right valve covers, intake and air cleaner I'll get the same effect. Besides today's tech is so much better, I'll spend less getting a decent set of aluminum heads than trying to get the iron heads to flow the same.
My question is, is there an aftermarket intake manifold that looks like the correct LT-1 manifold? Any advice you have for me is most welcome! Thanks!
