TT, thanks or NO thanks for the intro....if his project turns out fine like MY thing did....well :bounce: but if it turns to shit as without significant thoughts it surely WILL....:crap: maybe I don't wanna be associated with it...
aside from the obvious dizzy differance which I consider to be a HUGE drawback to the LT engine series....which BTW work fine in a large car or a truck, but down LO in a vette, it's a absolute diss ass ter....so I hear...
so, the intake ports are same locations as the four outer corner bolts...BUT the lange is the same plane even though the bolts are NOT....they went in vertically, as opposed to directly into the head at a 90* angle.....per previous SBC practice...
I had a L98 induction on essentially a ZZ4 engine, but due to other complications and having been fighting with it some 13 years on and off, I got sick of it, and wasn't spending the MONEY for someone else to do what I figgered could be done by myself ....and a TIG welding buddy....
so for 150 bus WITH FI rails plus another 60? for injectors later on off another ebay site....I had the LT setup on the car....
but you have to get some intake gaskets, lay it up, spot, mark what and how, and then cut like wild....I had a old beat up SBC intake I used for a dizzy pad that was chopped out and TIGGed in place over the spotted/drilled LT mani....
the result with the water cooling bungs up front into a 'remote t'stat' housing from OFFY, and in the Smut catalogs....
is a huge simplification and easy to repair system.....
see my site or here for pix of the resulting install ...
keep in mind. this is NOT for the faint of heart, and I had a few heart stoppages over it.....it IS dooable as on that LT1 site....
driven every silly day since last Feb or so....
