The Holley 300-36 fits with the right A/C
Its the same as the Z/28 LT-1 intake.

I still don't have any heads. The gentleman that was going to "donate" some 292's hasn't called me back in a while. I am starting to think I am just going to have to go TFS camel humps.

Never thought it would be this difficult. lol

At least it’s not a kidney stone. Unfortunately, I have chronic kidney stones. I’m not downplaying your arm as I have never had that issue, but I assure you, pain can reach a level that’s beyond this planet. Pain so bad, it makes you question why that level of pain is even permitted because it lacks any usefulness in life. You literally roll around on the floor, no comfort in any position and if you were say, a caveman running from a sabre tooth, you’d be dead as the pain did not allow any useful mobility. Yet your arms and legs are fine. It’s insane.

Just now looked at the Trick Flow 175cc double-hump heads... IMO, they're your best choice hands down. Don't even bother messing w/ decades-old OEM iron stuff when something like this is an option.
