Eddie Newlin Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'm trying to build a 5th gen COPO Camaro. Anyone know how to build the intake for this or know how I can source one? I'm building in 1/25th. Also if anyone has suggestions on sourcing or building some of the other parts I'd appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffs396 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Welcome to the best place online for model cars Eddie! I think scratchbuilding that cool intake will be the only way unfortunately the intake tubes and flanges would be easy, the top plenum would take some time to get all of the compound curves right, but it could be done. I think a substrate like sign foam, Renshape, or Balsafoam( http://balsafoam.com/ ) would be the way to go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Newlin Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Thanks fellas. I'll dig through the parts box, I should have a base in there. Thanks Jeff for the better reference pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp1839 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 if you google "holley ls tunnel ram" about 3/4 of the way down the page is a partially dimensioned drawing of that manifold with the 2 four barrel top. i'm certain i have seen the f.i. top drawing floating around.

MeatMan Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I thought about using the Holley for one of my builds but copped out for the attached. I thought about using a large piece of tubing in the center sandwiched between two smaller pieces to get the rounded look. Add some flat pieces to bridge the gaps and then use filler. Good luck on whatever you try. Keep us updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
