Has Anyone Seen This Style Portotype Intake?

I recently picked up this gm prototype intake for a SBC engine. It looks very close to the 67-68 Z28 intake. It has a casting date of December 68. Maybe it was slated for trans am racing due to the open plenum? Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jason

It's got a provision for the choke...would that have been on a race only piece? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

You make a good point. Experimental Z/28? The L88/ZL1 intakes had a choke provision even though they were chokeless, well choke disabled.

I have one with a 1965 date.

OOPS, my first post was a typo, this one is dated December of 1965.

12-10-65 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] Yours is more vintage.
