If anyone is looking to make an upgrade to an aluminium intake Here is an L82 listed on Ebay.

So far it is priced pretty cheap for an aluminium upgrade that is a stright bolt on and Quadrajet ready.

Not necessarily an L82 manifold, but close enough.
It was used from '76-82 on the 305 & 350 engines, on multiple applications, IE: Camaro, Corvette, etc... Still a good buy a $26 (right now).Adams' Apple2009-03-09 10:38:53

Thank you Mr. Joel for pointing that out. I was hoping someone talented would respond. (Maybe verify the authenticity of the intake from the numbers available.)

Your the best ..... what can I say? Thnxz Bro...

It IS basically the same design as the "real" L82 manifold, it's just no longer L82 specific after '76-'77, somewhere in there. They just started using it on base engines, too, for the weight savings, and the 5hp gain.

Would that intake work on a '70 base 350ci with a Holley spread bore?

Jim, don't bid on it until the final seconds. Good luck on it

Did a search to see what else might pop up.  Quite a selection and quite a price range.  Even found one with a Holley carb attached (starting bid $90).

Another option is the Edelbrock 2101 non EGR or the Edelbrock 3701 EGR ready model.

I bought the 3701 model on Ebay for $75.00 to the door. This model is choke ready and has a cover plate for the EGR valve if you choose not to use it.

It took some diligent watching to pick this up for the price but patience is one of my character traights.

Edelbrock also makes some really nice polished models on the above series but you will most likely pay $40 - $50 more for them.

Happy hunting Jim!!! Tuxblacray2009-03-11 06:17:29
