modifying stock intake

[crazzywolfie]

i was wondering if anyone has used sheet metal in there intake to fill in some of the empty space and possibly make the intake more like a dual plain intake instead of a single plain intake? i know i have seen people who filled part of there intake with what i think was resin or something but i don't trust myself or that stuff so i was possibly thinking about using metal. thinking about using the divider to hold everything in place. any input would be great.

Wrong forum for gen-1 questions

Good question for sure. Maybe the Mods can move this over to the pre 94 section. I can say I used to play a bit with these earlier motors and would suggest you need to save up your dough for an edelbrock intake which would be a step closer to a matched with cam and carb set-up. Love the Ramcharger BTW, remember in the Army when we had those brand spankin new!

thanks. my ramcharger is multi port fuel injected.

ya but who said i was talking about a first gen? most first gen trucks do not have huge half keg size intakes with lots of extra space inside them. this is what i am looking at modding.

Yeah, guys! He's working on his Magnum RC

Your 81 with the Carb it what I was on about. I owned an 87 fifth avenue with early 80's distr./ignition swap to rid the lean burn set-up. I'll let you get back to your thread.

I assumed you were talking about G1 because those were your pictures, and your vehicles listed were 81, 91, and 93 in your profile. The very nature of direct-port-fuel-injection makes dual-plane irrelevant. ALL newer EFI systems use an open-plenum style intake. There is nothing to be gained by creating a dual-plane intake for them.

well you know what they say about people who assume. they make an @s$ out of U and me. some of those new fancy intake like the one on hughes engines website look to be dual plane.
