Question L69 Intake

Comments?
Quality?
Offshore?
Is anyone using one?

Do you have the correct 2 barrel carburetors and linkage to use on the intake? Multiple carburetors is definitely cool but probably more difficult to install and tune. Looks like the seller is The Parts Place. Are they well reviewed (in forums I mean, eBay's rating system is probably just as broken as Amazon's).

The Parts Place has some pretty sketchy reviews, from what I've seen. What I experienced, on the other hand, was a close to perfect transaction.
I placed an online order for a 64-67 4 speed console base on a Sunday. I received a 68-72 auto, complete console kit on Wednesday. I called to inform them of the mistake, and they were very apologetic. They immediately shipped the correct part, along with a prepaid return label. I received the new part Friday, and returned the incorrect item on Saturday- 6 days all completed. I'm happy.

They are Chinese for sure. The runners are not very good and need work to make them right. Oldsrush has one and he's taking it off and putting a OEM unit on. Maybe he will chime in with his thoughts.

Knoodling the idea of bolting one together. I'll see how fast I can vaporize some Benjamins.
Jesse, no carbs/linkage.
Of course, the repop would be chineasium...shocker. Silly of me to ask that question. But a repop might fit the bill for what Im doing,

Mike this might be your picture? Ain't that pretty!

Not my picture but I have all of the lines ,linkage etc. and is made here in the USA. I also have exact repo carburetors that I sell. I sold a set to Ron Memmer and he was blown away with them.

This would be cool to put on top, if being correct isn't a thing for you:

They are for a holley bolt pattern, so I am not sure thay would fit. I just got a 67 camaro on the road with a set of those on a BBC and the throttle response is insane!

Here is a picture of mine when I purchased it. Seller said he machined intake flanges to true them up. I opened up several of the runners with a rotary file and had to elongate half of the bolt holes. Note the poor casting in general.

Ya looks like typical chineasium quailty.
Still might fit the bill for what I have in mind.
Not sure that intake is worthy of Mike's restored carbs.
Are the cast numbers anywhere close to a correct 66-67 intake?
Flip that intake up so we can see some of the cleanup work, please

Sorry, already installed and running. I just essentially opened the ports to look like stock ones, using a intake gasket as a guide.
