Hello Everyone,

I have tried to search for what I am looking for. Each time I do a search I have to log back in to the site and I'm not finding what I want..

I did find where some posted they were having problems with leaks and sucking oil problems. (As if the intake might not fit well or was not made well.)


My qustions:

1) Was it worth installing the aluminum intake?

2) Did it help with low end torque and/or milage?

3) How much weight did it save from the stock intake?
(With the coach we have every little bit of weight savings helps a lot.)

4) Did you also install the aluminum heads?

5) Why did you install the heads?

6) Did the heads change/help anything?

7) How much weight did it save from stock heads?


Thank you for your help and time.
Sincerely, Tony


Tony (Ontario Canada)
Marie and I are blessed to have had a 2nd chance to buy our farm.
Still hoping and more importantly praying to be able to build a garage.
Our 1970 Ultravan #520 has an Olds Toronado 455 in back.
