Who ports factory 5.8L intake manifolds?

Post by SteveG »

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'm just here for the views. It helps me feel wanted.

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!
