    Hmm this is interesting Spectre Performance

    http://www.spectreperformance.com/#CATALOG.9869

    The Intake plenums look like they'd fit a carb'd 3g maybe with some mods

    Found this site in the No. 2 Project car magazine issue

    would'nt you have to do a vac removal to get some real results from that part.? Hopefully it does fit cause their adapters that they have at pep boys have never fit i've tried changeing it but the carb neck is a very weird size.

    awesome looking, I may have to cut out my hood to get the right intake flow for Weber carb. It needs to be steight in at least five inches above air horn.

    What size is the carb on the 3gee, alot of the air boxes are designed for 5-18" neck. This would look pretty good under the hood of a 3gee.

    You can easily remove the rubber ring from inside the stock intake and leave it on the carb, making the neck much wider then it is stock. don't rut the ring though in any way.

    They sell cheap Ebay junk

    I've known some people that had their intakes, couplers, mounting brackets, and all of it was just junk.
