Thanks. Now i just have to get the weight of an SPX from TA. Its no light weight

 

Sorry, I think I gave you the weight of the SBB manifold. Let's see if a BBB manifold is mentioned...

SPX = 25 lbs according to https://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/all-up-weight-for-those-that-might-be-interested.354063/

I bet SP1 is very similar, have worked with both.

Wow! 42 lb weight savings! Sounds too good to be true

 

TA got back to me, yes 25 lbs for the SPX intake

 

For 400/430/455. 71 455 intake weighed vs TA SP1 See pictures.

 

Thanks for this.

 

I wish someone would make an aluminum exact (or close) replica of stock Buick 455 intake like Olds W-30 had......I bet 18lbs

 

Just imagine if I 3D printed a carbon fiber/Polycarbonate intake like the LS platforms.

And valve covers and air cleaner assembly....

 

i was going to say my edelbrock weighs almost nothing

 

Confoozled: we've got 67 lbs on one end, and 49 on a scale.
And here I had (from somewhere); 72 lbs for a bare intake.

 

Not sure what to tell you. The 455 also put out 510lbs but no evidence has been provided that I am aware.

Edit, my scale is off maybe +/- 1lbs as compared to two others.
