Title: 6.2 intake manifold options??
Post by: Dirty Offio on August 16, 2013, 06:19:11 pm

Hey all,

I just read a post and someone mentioned changing out the restrictive intake for something that flows better.  They mentioned the J code intake, but are there any other manifolds that will work?  The block design looks like a BOP block, (Oldsmobile if I had to guess.) I know the engine was designed by Detroit, but is there any chance of an Olds or ?? manifold fitting?

Thanks!

Offio

Well, if you're looking to save money, you could chip out the pedestal.  Once that's done, you can plug up the hole with a cap and epoxy.  You'll end up with the poor mans J code intake manifold

Figures!  lol.  Oh well, I will see if I can find a J code manifold!

Cheers!
