need pictures of truck intakes in thirdgens!
hey guys, i'm needing some help from you guys that may have done the lsx swap using a truck motor. specifically, if you used a truck intake manifold, i need some clearance shots. i just picked up a 3" cowl hood and am hoping that a truck manifold would fit under it with room to spare. the reason is that i'm going to try to pick up a new edelbrock pro flo xt intake manifold, which sits at 10.2", and the truck manifold supposedly sits at 9"...so if one can fit the truck intake under a 3" cowl, then hopefully i'll be able to fit the pro flo.
worst case scenario, i'll get the new motor dropped in and sit an old truck manifold on the motor, but that's still a few days off. any help is SERIOUSLY appreciated!

I can fit a vic jr, nitrous plate, 950 quick fuel carb, and a 14x6 air cleaner under my 4" cowl. Does that help? but mine is that glasstek cowl which is like an outlaw style where the cowl gets tall really fast compared to the smaller ones.

1987earthquake - it would probably help a lot if you could stretch a couple of pieces of masking tape from fender to fender across the engine compartment, like I did in my "truck accessories" thread...
Might make it a lot easier to see/judge how it lines up...

(NOTE: I haven't gotten a P/S pump yet, so I don't yet know about any clearance issues with the frame rail - that's the only remaining concern I have.)
Hope this helps.

I used the stock 1984 mounts with a 1" back adapter plate ... I am going to use a pancake compressor and mount it up on the passenger side...
