First of all- this intake (and a second one I bought) I had issues with using the external plumbed heat plenum under the carb. The casting was porous somehow and would leak coolant up into the air intake after it cooled off.
To prove this I ended up bypassing the heat plenum and it wouldn't use a drop of coolant. To run without it the NPT elbows I installed should be removed and plugged off with NPT plugs. (Which I have, I think). The heat plenum is optional to use. It is in the original box right now, and it has a 180* thermostat and thermostat housing already on it.
This manifold would be great in my opinion for someone that lives in a warm climate or who won't use the vehicle in winter.
I didn't want to sell it locally as it is a cold climate here.
Summit Racing has the Edelbrock 7116 for $242 and there is a $25 rebate on it right now. ($217).
I was just going to throw it out... I'm tired of tripping over stuff in my garage. I figured there would be forum members here that could benefit from it. I'll even send it out to you so you can install and verify it works good before payment. As far as that- just make a reasonable offer.
