A $10,000 starting price and a "BIN" for $25,000
The seller should GET AN EDUCATION!

'198 ( stamped ) intakes aren't that rare anymore. No way to prove it's real or not.
However, the date is right in there.........

An original ZL-1 engine ( in pieces ) probably wouldn't cost $25,000.00

So this is designed to do nothing more than get attention.
It certainly did that

I have had alot of 198 intakes. Half of them have been stamped like this. In fact I may have sold that one to this guy.

Jason,

Any idea if the "stamped" '198 intakes were originals or
later created? I can't imagine that GM made that many of
the modified ( cut plenum & modifed part number ) intakes
prior to developing the actual '198 casting number change.

Steve

The 198s with cast in 98 numbers are worth much more than the stamped 98 intakes.. you can make the latter from a 300.00 163 and many have done so...

Yeah Chuck!

That's sort of my opinion as well. We didn't see many '198's
at all until the word got out. Then, they came out of
the wood work.....
