    Ok I'm doing another hybrid build but was thinking about throwing a GM TBI on it. I have a couple intakes to choose from. I have a cannon single plan 20r intake and a Holley Street dominator intake. Which one do you think is better and why? Ether way I'm gonna need an adapter.

    It's 500cfm with 1 11/16" ports. It's going to be tuned to run with the 4.3l injectors.

    Interesting. Didn't know you could even DO what you're trying to accomplish.
    Will there be enough headspace to close your hood with a setup like you're considering?
    I suppose you'll have some giant adapter plate like this?

    Well the Holley is a 4bbl intake. I can find an adapter for that one. It is a common enough swap ( for v8's going from carb to TBI) if I use the cannon intake I'm going to have to make an adapter going from Weber to TBI. either way the adapter is gonna be around 1/4-5/16". I talk to another guy who has done this setup, he said there wasn't much of an issue with hood clearance and I can find a low pro air filter if I have to.
