where can i get a 1'' intake spacer
 
Hey guys maybe you can tell me where i can get a 1 inch intake spacer. I need it because i am putting roller rockers on my heads and i need to get taller valve covers and need to raise the intake so the valve covers dont hit the throtle setup.
Thanks..
keep eatin those heavy chevies.

Summit part #TFS-51520002
$59.95 for the kit.
Kit includes 1" spacer, longer mounting bolts and gaskets.

Take care,
-Chris

Are you sure you're going to need it? If you remove the baffle from the passenger side cover, and do a little grinding on the inside of both covers, it should work.

Also, the 1" spacer could possibly lower the rpm range on the intake 100-200rpm since it is increasing the runner length. I've seen discussions on this before, but I have not seen any proof to back it up. Just something to think about.:)

since you already have a cam you are probaly going with 1.6 ratio. all i had to do with 1.6's was remove the baffle on the passengers side valve cover. i think if you were to run 1.7 ratio your would have to grind the first 3 structural supports on each vavle cover.

yeah I agree with TJR, you should be able to get 1.6 RR to fit under stock valve covers. If not get a set of the motorsport covers or some that don't require a 1" spacer, 3/8" at the most.
