Someone find this intake!!!!

[Guest]

I want this. Tell me GM made more then the 2 or however many it was.

Sicc.......

You like that hard core 60 v6 stuff also huh

The soft stuff just doesnt do it for me.

That's pretty cool, I haven't seen pics of just parts of the TT Beretta engine, before, just the complete engine.
Do you have any more?

[GPXSS]

why bother, its still crap.. I wonder what other intake you could use though?

I want the velocity stack intake.

[Rhedalert]

Id take it, but I envision gasket problems between the pairs of runners, especially if GM makes the gaskets...

Here's a link to the Hot Rod article on the Baretta engine with some good pics: http://tyre.serveftp.com/citationphotos/Martin%20Urbanc's%20Photo%20Album/Modifications/Baretta_Indy_Pace_Car-Article/


The manifold was a hand-built prototype, so I highly doubt more than a couple were built.

I think that if a similar manifold were made to mate up to some gen3 heads, it would outperform the 3400 intake. The runners are a little bigger, and about half as long as the 34000, so it should make a nice combination for a built NA 3400 with ported heads and cam. I have toyed around with the idea of doing this, but it is down my priority list a ways.

Oh come on seriously? That intake rocks!! Huge plenum, Huge TB(which I am sure can be upgraded to a bigger one since its a V8 TB) and 6.5 inch length runners that are fat as hell!! Should flow a bunch of air. It has bigger ports then a 3400 I believe. Correct me if I am wrong

What gets me is that it says its modified from a stock gen 2 lower intake. I was looking at one I have laying around here and I can't see how they did it. I just wish I had some better pictures. Anyone else with more pics??

Lots of cutting and welding. I can see the genII base there, and how they would have changed the runner positions, routing.

[RacerX11]

Yeah.....LOTS and LOTS of cutting. Wouldn't it be nice if our engines didn't incorporate part of the rocker cover flange into the lower intake? It would be so easy to make custom manifolds if we had a smooth intake/head mountng surface to start from. I guess that is one area where the 90degree engines have an advantage (please don't shoot me )

I agree with Marty, I think it would rock if somebody would make a base intake pan with cutouts for the head ports... then you could do whatever you wanted to.

[RidgeRunner]

So you could make your own... just start with a Gen3 LIM or whatever suits your heads, and do a Franz stunt.

That's my plan. I have an extra 3100 LIM, and access to a mill. I just haven't got around to making metal shavings yet. My big concern is that once you cut away all of the runners to a point where you can start fabricating new ones, there won't be much material left, and it could weaken the manifold enough so that it no longer seals the gaskets properly. I guess I will find out once I start cutting it up.
