All this pretty work calls for atleast an intake cover from the truck it came off, or even better yet a FAST LSXRT 102mm intake

Good stuff Steve, love checking this thread.

A Fast 102 would be pointless if his motor is mostly stock besides the headers thats on there. Now it would be a nice addition with heads and cam.

I would just shave the ugly truck intake, most of the crap ontop of the truck intakes is useless. Just make sure you dont use fiberglass to smooth it out or fill any holes. You need to use nylon plastic and a plastic welder. Urethanesupply sells a plastic welder for plastic radiators(which are most commonly made of nylon for side tanks). Most cooking spatulas are made of nylon plastic, you can get spatulas from walmart for less then a $1 and use that as donor material to plastic weld to the intake. Once those bosses that are on the sides of the intake are shaved off there will be some nice sized oval shaped holes there.

Here is a pic of a nice shaved one.

Nice work Steve, This guy is really lucky to have a buddy like you to help him out. The work previously performed on this car was gruesome for lack of a better word.

I know you said you don't want to know who did the work, but I would really like to know. I stay in Sac and can't always do my own work. So to know of local places like this to avoid would be nice. Is your boy a member on here that I could PM or could you PM the name of the shop to me if you do happen to know.
