Does anyone know where ELSE to find this part?

[tigeraid]

So, I ordered this intake package:



From Best Resin in oooooh March or so. I didn't receive it for over a month, whereapon Best Resin refunded me my money, saying that they had their car broken into and all their stuff stolen. Fair enough. He then said he'd be sending me the stuff I ordered, including that intake package, for free. Good customer service.

Except that it's now almost 4 months later and I still haven't got the parts, and Best Resin doesn't answer my emails.

Anyway, </rant> .... Has anyone seen this type of fuel injected intake for big block chevys anywhere else? I REALLY want to finish my Vega Modified.

AMT-ERTL 1967 Impala Street Machine kit had it. The kit is out of production but I have seen it around at swap meets.

I don't know if the RIDES version with the ridiculous wheel option had it also.

HTH

Here's the model kit I was referring to. Ross Gibson also does a street rat with a injector, but you have to buy the whole resin kit to use the induction system (about $25.00 US).

Have you thought about making one yourself? I'm pretty sure you could do it.

[tigeraid]

I think I could do everything but the air filter....

Wow,

John. I do owe you quite the apology. If I had not suggested Best Resin, then this would not have happened...

[stryfe101]

at least he got his money refunded.....i'm still waiting...placed my order in april, sent several emails..and never heard ANYTHING back

[tigeraid]

Not your problem Russ. It's just a shame that the guy has such a great site, makes so many unique parts and great prices... and never mails anything to anyone.

Can someone confirm if that's the Impala kit with the motor? I can grab one if so...

[Some_Kid]

you can always try and make it yourself with plastic sheet from evergreen, it seems like the part would be simple enough to replicate

[stryfe101]

oh to answer the question on the impala motor...yes its the same one, i've got that kit at home.

Yes, I know I can make it myself, except the filter. But to me, the conical filter is what makes it look so good, and I dunno how to duplicate that part.

stryfe, and just to be sure, it's THAT actual intake right? Not a TPI one with the big runners?

[stryfe101]

if you want i'll check mine tonight when I get home..just to be sure..i'll post it later....cool?

it's not that complex of a shape, basically flat panels and a section of cone for the filter. I've seen your builds and I think you could tackle this easily.
