      heads, cam, and an IC are what usually are required for 350hp and I would not consider that slightly modded. I'll see if I can find ond of the pics of how he modded to blower to fit, it was a lot of work and not just anyone could do it.

                maybe so, but the problem is the bend in the plenum.

                  not that it wont work, but it will significantly restrict airflow.

                    Nice that he got it to work but as udlose03, < you like that catch, said the plenum sucks or rather won't suck very good, like a bad date. He made it fit without modyifying the body but rather modified a crucial part of the SC. The amount of money involved I'm sure an LS1 would've been a better option. Cudos for doing something unique but uh not really that huge.

                        He was referring to the fact that 1997RSBLACK said 'slightly modded.' He was just stating that slightly modded doesn't equal 350.

                        FWIW:

                          Hacking the s**t out of the intake manifold does NOT qualify as "WILL FIT".

                          The botttom line is that a L67 WILL NOT fit, you MUST modify SOMETHING!

                          :rolleyes:

                              How? There is only so much room to work with. I think he did a pretty decent job. It's not perfect but it does the job pretty well.

                                still wondering if anyone has tried this with Holden parts.
                                If so what is needed from the donor Aussie car?
