    Super ETA Intake Manifold and i Manifold Swap

    are the Super ETA and i intake manifolds the same?
    if so, would the Super ETA/ i manifold bolt up to my ETA?
    im looking for a little extra HP from my car and theres a super eta
    in the local junkyard...
    thanks

    No, they are not the same and you won't gain anything from using a Super ETA intake on your ETA. There isn't much you'd want from that engine except for maybe the i cylinder head and bottom end to build a turbo engine or something. =]

      the i intake manifold and the super eta manifold are different. the super eta manifold has longer thinner runners. The super eta manifold is unique to the super eta so changing to the i intake manifold will net some gain.

          There's a super-eta in your local junkyard? Go get the pistons out of it!

          If you don't keep them to make a stroker, sell them. They are highly sought after for stroker engines.
