Trueleo doesn't make these anymore, so you must watch eBay, the Mall section of this Forum, or find some other way to get a used one.

Otherwise, it is a fabricated steel piece, so any experienced steel fabricator should be able to make one.

I understand that the production process is pretty labor intensive. I would hold out for one on the forum or eBay. That is how I got mine. BTW, the cold air intake piping now goes to a functional side vent but I cannot locate a photo of that version right now.

Yes Thank you for your responses.
I have searched on internet before eBay, TRUELEO, on This forum...
I Could be patient now.
I Will search on eBay once per week maybe I Will find a trueleo intake.

I have deleted my catalyzer, I have a custom exhaust but I Will change to 3 inch pipe with borla and I will porting my exhaust manifold too, I have installed kn filter for air, oil, and gas with New oil, I Will decarbonize the engine soon (81000 miles after 30 years).
The seller has proceed a replacement of a New complete distributor, high performance ignition coil and New clutch.
I want to change the intake manifold to gain more hp

Keep in mind it's still a 30year old motor. Expectations should not be high. The trueleo intake when found is not going to be cheap.

If you happen to need them, I have a complete set of stainless steel allen head bolts designed to work with the Trueleo intake and make installation easier. I ordered two sets of them but only needed one for my personal installation of the Trueleo intake.

Is that intake even worthwhile installing without head work and a wilder cam to compliment it?

There's a grey zone between the black and white extremes of a bone stock engine vs. an all-out performance build.

I think that denying the grey zone is how the cost of engine projects can get out of hand...

This might be an option to Trueleo. Its a mod to the stock intake. Don't know if he is still making these. Last post was around 2 years ago.

If I may be so bold ... do the search once then hit the 'save search' button. There are options for notification. You actually want to spot it the moment it hits eBay (particularly if it has a 'buy it now' option. I have secured many good deals this way.

If you drop a high-performance intake onto a stock (or mildly modified) engine, the bang-to-buck ratio is going to be very low. So basically, this type of intake is only worth the cost when you have a really stout engine build that can put it to good use.
