1970 Camaro L78


Has any one ever tried to run that in FAST. It's a good combo except for the intake. Does the the 70 SS396 Chevelle have to run that intake or the 163?

Re: 1970 Camaro L78


i run the 70 396 and use the same intake as the LS6.

I could run the 69 intake as an early 70 model but i use the ls6 now as it is what i had!
the numbers escape me right now but you get it i think!

i know the earlier one is better but i still havent maxed out with this later low rise peice!

i think there is more potential in it than most think and would like to see how far she'll go emoticon

I've heard it's almost has the same intake volume its just down below(up side down) ??? I have one on an engine in the car but, I don't want to take it off. HAHA! Do you have any pics or data? Thanks Ted.

Re: 1970 Camaro L78


this intake has only been port matched by me at home and opened up the plenum a little.

no flow numbers or major porting, just trying to do the most with the least $

Re: 1970 Camaro L78


thanks big D

Actually, nothing special yet, the chevelle is an A body like gregs buick, so although i am happy with every chip i take off the E.T., its in my mind that he did it with a "not as likely candidate",.....so the work/fun continues!

Re: 1970 Camaro L78


Yes, an L89 ..which helps lighten the load but the car is still heavy as i will not cut or lighten in any way that it cant be returned as the car is in good original shape!

maybe my next project....if the economy turns around
