Vortec TPI intake (NEW)&Corvette TPI valve covers

New, never installed Scoggin-Dickey Vortec TPI intake. (Made for Scoggin-Dickey by Edelbrock). Designed to fit Vortec heads and FastBurn heads.

Vortec bolt pattern.

Bought several years ago for a now gone project. Only bolted to heads for mock-up purposes. Never run.

VERY, VERY ported.

Ported by me to fit AS&M runners (1-3/4") on one side and GM FastBurn heads on the other. Multiple hours in porting involved by me (I've built many race engines since the mid-1970s). (I could sell the AS&M large tube runners that this was ported to but they are on my GTA right now and they would not be cheap).

Head side ported to fit Fel-Pro 1255 gaskets.

These are BIG ports.

Included with this intake will be several fittings, block-off plates, bolts, and TPI specific water-neck.

The Fel-Pro gaskets will also be included and can be used to port-match your heads but should be replaced before buttoning up your engine.

$425 plus shipping. (Cost more than that new).

United States Postal Money Order ONLY. No checks, no offbeat money orders, no PAYPAL. United States Postal Money Order ONLY.

I will ship United States Post Office by first choice. Second choice will be UPS but shipping could be slightly more.

Re: Vortec TPI intake (NEW)

just a question ... where does it draw EGR gases or doesn't it have that function? Does it have exhaust manifold feed like a edelbrock manifold?

Corvette TPI valve covers

Used Corvette TPI valve covers.

One set 1984 to 1986. Known as perimeter bolt.

Also one set 1986 to 1991. Known as center bolt.

Both sets are magnesium.

Both sets were cleaned up and painted an aluminum color as close to original as I could find.

The perimeter bolt valve covers were slightly polished for a shinier (relatively speaking) surface.

The center bolt valve covers were painted a rough-textured finish to try and match the original finish. I since have slightly scuffed this set. VERY slightly.

If you've looked on EBAY, you know what these sell for before being cleaned and painted.

$80 (plus shipping) for your choice of sets. OR BOTH sets for $140 (plus shipping).

United States Postal Money Order ONLY. No checks, no offbeat money orders, no PAYPAL. United States Postal Money Order ONLY.

I will ship United States Post Office by first choice. Second choice will be UPS but shipping could be slightly more.

The EGR is the same used by Corvettes, back on the passenger side, just in front of the distributor. I had blocked it off with a plate and was going to eliminate the egr in the computer tuning.

Re: Vortec TPI intake (NEW)

Someone with vortec heads or FastBurn heads could make some nice power with this NEW intake.

Not to mention the water neck (cost me $20 plus shipping) and the assorted fittings installed already.

If you have vortec heads, this intake would be really good for your use.

Not sure. They appeared to on the FastBurn heads I used to have but never got the engine together on a final assembly.

The centerbolt valve covers are in the process of being sold.

The perimeter bolt valve covers have not been spoken for as of tonight.

Re: Vortec TPI intake (NEW)&Corvette TPI valve covers

Folks, it has come to my attention some of my replies have not been getting back to some of you.

If you have sent me a message, either by email or PM (private message) and I have not returned an answer, please let me know.

Apparently something is not working correctly on my end. I am certainly no computer expert, so, please, if you sent a message, and are awaiting a reply, please, please, contact me again at my regular email:

jmssrf@scrtc.com

I always try to reply to messages, so forgive me if you should have got one by now.

Thanks,
James Spear (jms)
