Ummmm, let me try to post the pics again.
As you can tell by the dust the price could be right. Let me know if anyone is interested, shoulda ebay'd this stuff forever ago. I'll blow stuff off and take better pics if anyone wants something.
are all those big block intakes?
I think I have 4 525hp BBC intakes, 1 502 mag intake(All rectangular port), 2 scorpion SBC vortec intakes and 2 regular SBC vortec intakes. All of these are marine intakes meaning the water thermostat crossover has the brass inlay. I would have to check the SBC intakes to make sure they are cast iron and not plastic, pretty sure iron or aluminum but didn't look.
pm sent
I would love a closer look at one of those Scropion 383 intakes please.
I was thinking that too but looking at the pictures the TB would be facing the brake booster in a car/truck application.
IF the plenum is designed the same way as the Indmar intake I have, it will bolt on either direction or very easily be modified to.Quote:

Sorry for the delay, I've been laid up in bed the last couple days. I'll get some better pics next time I am at the shop.
No worries. Health comes first.

Thanks

Ah Heck, here I am at the shop at 2:15 in the morn, gotta get a bit of work done. Here's some pics of the scorpion. Turning the top around is possible but will take a bit of work. The factory setup used a 2 wire ford type IAC so that would have to be blocked off to turn it around. Also, once turned around you would need to drill and tap the base as some of the bolt holes won't line up. Not that big a deal but would have to be addressed. Also the 90mm TB doesn't have an IAC provision so you would have to run an external IAC adapter. Next time I am over there I will take a pic of one and post. Basically a hose will go to the adapter which is billet aluminum and a stock gm IAC bolts to it.Quote:

I also found this which is pretty cool. It's a vortec dual plane intake with a 90mm TB. :) It is cast iron.
Btw, anything I sell, I will clean and flow test the injectors, this stuff has been around a few years. I will also run everything down to the machine shop and run through the parts washer for a few minutes to clean up so they look new.
One of the major EFI companies, Holley or the like makes a Ford IAC to GM IAC adapter that lets you mount a GM IAC to a Ford engine.Quote:

There are 3 of us in our ~17,000 sq ft shop and me and Peter are partners on the intakes since we both did those blower installs. I haven't gotten him to nail down a price on the 525hp intakes yet(I was told I was too cheap) but hopefully by tomorrow morning. Any questions or additional pictures needed, let me know. Thanks all.
Hey Fast355, thanks for that, once you mentioned it I do remember seeing those now.Quote:

These things just don't exist. I used to keep them around for blower stuff. You have to cut/grind the linkage off a stock TB and then install on this one.
I am interested in the dual plane if it is included in the Vortecs. What part of the world are you located in?Quote:

I saw your PM, just have not had a chance to respond. I cannot seem to access my PMs here from my phone only on a desktop.
No worries, take your time :)
Thread bump for the OP. My marine dual plane EFI intake arrived today. Well packed and as advertised. I would not hesitate to make furture purchases from Carl. Thanks again sir!Quote:

The Marine TB and adapter are nice pieces but adapting them to my setup will likely present more of a challenge than using the above mentioned parts. Hot Rodding is an addiction for me. Knowing me and my lack of spare time, I might even have Lloyd Elliot take a stab at port matching it to the heads he ported for me.
Hiya, glad it showed up. I worry about those heavy packages. I found another dual plane intake(I think I mentioned we have a little over 17,000 sq ft shop and a lot of crapola :) ) This one doesn't have the throttle body and just tonight I placed an elbow on it and a billet TB and thought exactly as you did. Shoot this might be really cool for a low rise.
So, for anyone else interested, I have one dual plane vortec left and 1 of the stocker looking vortec intakes left, no, wait, I found another one of those too so, 2 of the stocker looking ones. The really cool part about these are the external injectors instead of the stock "spider".
The suck is, they are pretty heavy since they are cast iron and a pain in the ass to package, lol. Freight can be a bit pricey due to the weight. :(
The last dual plane vortec has been gone for a bit(Thank you). I still have the two regular style vortec with the external injectors and 1 new 525 hp BBC square port intake for sale. Offers/trade are welcome. I'm not sure I need anything for trade but ya never know and if offer is too low, I'll politely decline. :)
Thanks again for the help getting rid of stuff to good homes.
