I found a donor engine for WIlson... the Edelbrock intake is on indefinite backorder, but I've heard there's someone porting the factory intakes with good results.

Anyone have a contact for this?

Thanks!

Hey Steve,

It's been a number of years, but Greg at Total Performance ported my stock intake in the past.

It did not hold up over time unfortunately, so I went with the edelbrock performer package eventually

Greg is a good dude

I know RHP out of oregon does 460 intakes. They may do a stock intake Steve.

I’ve sent my intake to Big Dog. Just waiting for it back. So far he’s been great to deal with.

Hi Steve, yes I’ve shipped a spare 5.8 manifold to Big Dogs. I don’t have it back yet.

Good morning. Got it. They definitely don’t seem to have a quick turnaround… I’ve been trying to get them to send me an invoice for about a week now… that reminds me… gotta shoot them a reminder. Ha!
