hes some more pics some through the nostril of the hood to show hood clearnace

[alwaysmessedup]

thanks but im going to use the truck intake it clears and i was told what i already knew that the truck out performs the ls1 intake. plus i have truck accessories already and they clear . but thanks anyway.

I just picked up my complete ls6 intake. So I have an ls1 intake with car injectors, rails, and TB that id be willing to let go for cheap(when I get it off). Also if you just pick one up yourself you can use the truck TB with one easy quick mod, less than 60 seconds to do.

A wee bit tight in there isn't it?

Have you considered engine rock under load?

[alwaysmessedup]

every place except the map sensor has atleast 2 inches of clearance, i have poly mounts and my 350 didnt rock hardly at all so i should be fine.

i built my own mounts using the stock small block mounts and s and p plate design, they sell the plates for 40 but i had my dad machine some up for me for free. i did have to move the motor mount on the crossmember back an inch and up a 1/4". you can buy all kinds of different mounts. i decided to do it this way because i have brand new poly mounts for my small block that was in it so i could see spending 160 for 4th gen poly mounts then 85 for conversion mount. here are some pics.

Where did you get the drawings for the motor mount plates? I know I have seen them on the web some where but I can't find them now???? Found one on ls1tech. How much clearance do you have from your firewall? Did you have to modify your k-member?

http://matt.undiagnosed.org/ls1/imag...ount_plate.jpg this is the link some of the info is wrong, as you can see in my middle pick the 2 bolts in the small block mount that have silver washers these holes are drilled and taped to 3/8 24 thread and the bolt inbetween them is supose to be countersunk but i just drilled a hole in my small block mount to go over the bolt. hope this helps

I may be interested depending on what you consider cheap? just to let you know I am half Dutch

Sweet job man. I love seeing people put Gen III/IV motors in older(read wiser ) cars.

Btw, LS6 intakes usually go for ~$300 and LS1s for ~$50

Hey Dustin did you mess with your k-member? I heard that if you use the stock one you have to notch it?

You only have to notch the k member if your running a/c. Other than that you dont have to. You do have to relocate the brake line that runs on top of the k member. I just bent it so it runs behind the k member btw the k member and the oil pan and it fits perfectly!
