The only Chevy part we had was a Corvette Tach. Drive Dual Point Dist. that Ed had John Hoffman make an adapter for

Now that NHRA has run him off with this ridiculous rule, all of his customers, including myself, will have to pick up our pieces, and figure something else out.
Thank you everyone for the selfish, disrespectful, attacking of a man, and his desire to improve within written rules.
Well said!

How about fitting a 351-C intake on an FE engine? It can be done with the adapter shown below:




Engine builders and racers can get creative in many ways.
Nevertheless, what is the fuzz all about when they allow sheet metal intakes?

As a matter of fact, Buicks are adapting Mopar intakes.
That FE intake adapter is junk.No one runs it that I know of.

Does it really matter? It shows this shyt has been around, and other builders are using it, other than sbc offenders!

Nobody is gonna question Gulius's innovation n pushing the limits of the rules !! A true innovator !! However he's just as good of a salesman !! Your new [legal heads] will probably be faster than the old ones !! just fork up the cash n maybe get a sheetmetal intake so it won't look so obvious !!

You must not have heard.There won't be any new heads from the Gulius shop. He shut down and sold his equipment .

It was never built for SS, I suppose you have first hand knowledge why it’s “junk”?

I have one question after reading all this. Is a sheet metal Intake legal on a traditional Superstock engine?
