Here is a closeup of the Intake Manifold.
You can see it is a Scorpion Torker Aluminum Manifold by Edelbrock.
It has the "Divided Plenum" feature which separates the Intake Runners from the Valve Galley with a forced Air-Gap between them.
This separation greatly improves Mixture Density making the Engine run as if it is running cooler. In most Chevrolet Intake Manifolds the Runners taking the Fuel-Air Mixture to the Heads are in contact with the Hot Valve Galley which actually decreases Horsepower.
This Engine has several "Trick" items as I built it for SCCA Racing in my 1967 Camaro.
It has a Hi-Nickel Block, Forged Steel Crank, Forged Steel Rods(flash ground and shot peened), Corvette double-hump Heads with 2.02 Intake Valves, Solid Lifters using the 30-30 Service Cam that came on the 1969 Z28, Crane Roller Rockers, Z28 guide plates, Sig Erson Double Racing Springs, TRW Forged Aluminum Pistons(11:1), Crankshaft Power Pulley, Fuel Pump Block-off, Chrome Moly Pushrods, Titanium Retainers, Milodon Studded Heads and Main Caps, and a Right and Left hand Turn Cad-plated Oil Pan also by Milodon.
Very similar to the Trako LT-1 Racing Motors used for the I.R.O.C. Series.
