Ryan Falconer Cross ram intakes available

[Grantman]

so these are a direct fit to a 3.4 PR camaro motor? can a stock head be ported to get anywhere close to the size of these or does it take the falconer heads also? What all is miising to make these work?

[Superdave]

Can you snap a picture of the head side of that gen 2 lower intake's runners?


Thanks

[ericjon262]

he donated the only whole gen 2 intake he had, the rest if just the upper runners.

Your pic that falconer sent, is that exactly what one would be getting? any linkages for the throttles or any injector hold down rings?

[stalkerV6]

Grantman - yes, one of these would fit on your engine. A Fiero owner was able to get one of these running with his GM computer. What's missing? You will need as bigcheese asks linkage to connect the two throttle shafts, injector hold down rings.

If you have interest, you can forward the photos to Kinsler or Linder fuel injection to get quotes but you may want to do some pre-research and have an idea of what you want to do (type of sensors to drill the intake for, updated injectors, different fuel rail, port matching, etc.) the list can be simple or long. Expect to hear $4,500 and up for custom jobs. If you know machinist, open wheel race car engineers, and along with people who know these intakes you can do it for $500 and up. I used two machinist, a guy from Kinsler who now lives close to me, and some other sources.

the picture from falconer's shop floor is what i have plus spun aluminum horns is most everything i received. the rest you will need to source.

Here is a page I was given when looking at the 300+ hp race engine during its assembly process in the 80s.

I may have missed it, but do you still have that Gen 2 lower?

[23TrackroadsterV6]

Are any of these intake uppers still available?

[Blacktree]

It appears Superdave has a picture of two intakes I have.

Two of those photos are my intake, too (the 2nd and 3rd photos).

Just to clear up some confusion, the Falconer LIM is very different from the stock 2.8 / 3.4 LIM. The port size and shape are completely different. If you were to lay a stock upper intake on the Falconer LIM, the ports wouldn't even come close to matching up. Also, there is no cold start / idle air passage in the Falconer LIM. And there are no provisions for sensors (like the cold-start switch, fan switch, coolant temp sensor*, etc). There is, however, a big opening on one end with a passage leading down to the lifter valley, presumably for a crankcase vacuum system.

*My Falconer intake has a coolant temp sensor installed, because the previous owner had a hole drilled and tapped for it.
