    Pointless holden ones are forsale for 200 bucks on here back a few pages in the fs section just mod the top hat so the tb is on the side not the front done....... Or you could always use a f body intake.

    I dont really see a sheetmetal one being worth the cost. Esp if its not essential for clearance like the 4th gen f body guys run into for example.

    I like the sheet metal for the fact that you can reverse it easily when I demod someday...planning on getting a vette at some point

    right, i don't think they make them anymore.

    making a copy of it seems like it'd be cake, though. there's not much to it.

    I looked at the ones everyone else has made and just built my own, not to hard if you have or know someone with access to welder/machine shop...if not the cost may out weigh the work involved to swap out the LIM when you demod.

    Simple trace a gasket cut plate to match weld up a box drill a hole in it same size as tb opening tap a few holes for the tb.

    Ohh and save about 400 bucks over the stattama price....

    Edit what he said^^^^^^ what do a set of cheapo plastic lim gaskets cost? plus a na intake will flow way better than some crude box slapped on a sc lower intake!

    I was able to obtain a Stattama intake a long time ago. I had a gutted SC with block off and the Stattama intake made a difference.

    I think a custom intake will be and is the best option for flow IMO. It's a straight forward design and the air goes straight in.

    Here are some pics to help give you reference if you want to make one.
