L78 intake
I have an L78 intake originally from 68 camaro,has repair in 1 bolt area and a damaged bolt hole at thermostat housing.
Any comments, if this is worth trying to repair or should it be discarded?

Re: L78 intake
I think any factory aluminum intake is worth saving. Many not be usable for high end applications but there is likely a home for any usable intake.

Re: L78 intake
I agree - plus I would also add.....that I would much rather have a repaired original over a fake snowflake intake [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

Re: L78 intake
Saving this intake is a good idea. You can have it welded by a professional
aluminium welder. then depending on the damage threads, you can carefully re tap the holes. on the intake bolt holes you can work the extra access weld by a rotary file If you were close to me I would help you return this intake to almost orig cond Go for it PJ |
