LT1 Airgap Intake Manifold

Re: LT1 Airgap Intake Manifold
Here's a couple of questions for ya.
What are you doing about a provision for the PCV now??
Is this going to be compatible with AIR/EGR connections on the backs of the LT1 manifolds or will they HAVE to be blocked off?

Wow - Just when you think nothing unique can be done to these motors anymore...
That looks amazing. Please keep us posted on any perf gains you may see. I would definitely try to find some "beta" testers if I were you and see for sure what it's doing for your times/HP.
Nice jorb.

Nytrus1, thanks for the answer. When you say run it old school style, I'm assuming you mean that you'd run the PCV from the valve cover to a vacuum port on the manifold, correct?? In which case, wouldn't you want to put a new port in the manifold (on the driver side near the tube that comes out of the valve cover that goes to the TB comes to mind)??? This really has my interest right now.

Re: LT1 Airgap Intake Manifold
Damn,
I have a spare intake that I am actually doing the same thing to...
It is taking me forever because I don't have a plasma cutter, but I guess you understand that...
But now when I am done, it will look like I copied you!!!
BTW, it looks damn good and you did a great job, I just hope mine turns out looking half as good...
FWIW, I never thought about the diamond plate though.. I may steal that idea from you because it looks hot...

Lol, I was looking around my shop for a piece of aluminum to weld on as the valley floor, and I tripped over a couple of scraps of alum. diamond plate sticking out under a toolbox. They were the right size, and after welding on the plate it looked too good to paint
