I am going to be stepping up to either Edelbrock Performers or the AFR 165's and it looks as if the Shorties I have on the car are about done. I have an e-cam and a stock intake. What would be a good intak to step up too? Also I am not looking for the best power out of the long tubes but the best fit and ease of install. Thanks

Installing LT's is never really an easy job. It's not really that hard, but just takes a lot of patience. I have BBK LT's and didn't have any fitment problems. I dropped my motor in with them installed and everything worked fine.

I had to spend a little time installing my LTs. But it wasn't that hard. I heard if you have the intake off it makes it 10x easier.

If you have the heads off, it makes it 100x easier.. The older MACs, that you don't have to put the steering shaft through are fairly easy IMHO.. I'd second the BBKs also..

The BBK's are very nice and install e3asy. It is a shame they did not make them to fit AOD cars also. It would of only took about 1 1/2 inches more space between the collectors.
