I was wondering what this intake is worth. It just says Vortech on the intake so Im guessing its not the Saleen/Vortech. Just looking for some information on this. I came across a 87 coupe in fair condition and it had this intake, Trickflow 170 heads, 24lb injectors with the mass air to match it, and the stage one trick flow cam. I know what the other stuff is worthjust not the intake. Thanks for the help guys.

Id say you can easily get $200 out of it. Maybe more depending on who wants it. Its an extremely rare intake and was very pricey when it was being produced. I have one on my 347 and I love it. Constantly get questions and compliments about it.

$500+++ on eBay. If it was the Saleen version, they go for $1000 + for really nice ones.

Damn! That much now? When I got mine they were not that high but that was like 8-9 years ago. I should take mine off, sell it then buy something else and have $$ left over! BTW whats the difference between the Vortech and the Saleen/Vortech intake. Mine just says Vortech on it.

The Saleen piece would say "Saleen" or "Saleen-Vortech" on it.

The Saleen/Vortech, Saleen, and Vortech intakes are identical other than the label. They are all great flowing intakes and pricey these days.
Believe it or not the "Vortech" labeled piece is the rarest of all these. They only sold them for a short time.

The only one rarer and more expensive than these is the "Holy Grail" Saleen/SC intake.

I have the "Vortech" labeled intake on my SSC. I paid $700 for it 5 yrs ago.

Shame is they are not the best intakes, Holley fixed all the issues when they released the SysteMAX II...

But the Saleen Vortech has always been an old favorite of mine from back in the day.
