As some of you may know, I've been looking for a BBC Hilborn-type manifold to do an EFI conversion on for a long time. It'll be going in my pro-touring '69 Vette that has been stalled on the bench for at least the last 3 or 4 years. As this is a model of my dream car nothing less than exactly what I had envisioned would do, hence the long pause. This intake was offered by Best Resin and according to my research is more likely a Kinsler though it was sold as a Hilborn by them. It's the split-port design which I can find no reference of Hilborn ever producing. I'm not sure of the source but I'm pretty sure it was 1/24th scale as I had to do quite a bit of trimming to get it to fit the Vette's block. Now that's its fit, I can add the fuel rails, injectors, wires and ram tubes. It'll sit under an airbox feeding off the L88 cowl-induction hood.

Anyways, if anything it's a good excuse to play with my new camera I got over the holdiays. Canon S3 with SuperMacro and image stabilization, no more blurry macro shots!
