Beck LS7 Cross-Ram Intake I picked up my newest piece of engine jewelry yesterday, from Beck's here in Houston. I had John build a custom 1 of 1 billet CNC runner cross-ram style intake, to dress up the 427ci LS7 that I am putting in my pro-touring 1969 Camaro SS. We went with longer runners than normal to give a nice boost in midrange torque, since this car will be a cruiser. I wanted something more exotic on top of this engine, other than a factory style intake.
Here are some pics of Beck's shop where he builds the intakes and CNC billet parts.
These are some other intakes I saw being built:
Chrysler big-block with billet CNC runners
C5-R for F-body

I like it a lot Tony. The long runners will help make monster mid-range torque. Should breathe well up high based on how well the Beck manifolds flow. This approach to having the plenum on top vs. bottom would make this difficult to fit in a 4th Gen F-body or C5/6, but for your 1st gen, it makes all the sense in the world.
