tyler031734 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I have a few diesel intakes sitting around. I'm thinking about modifying them for use on gas type engines. With there longer and bigger runners. But my issue is I dont have a Z around with a L6 in it for me to mess around with testing clearances. My question is, How much can I raise the "log" portion of the intake? Is there a Z with a long block in it I can mess with around Portland OR? I'm located really close to Gresham. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Don't you really need just a head? Here's a recent thread on the same. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/116474-ld28-intake-input/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler031734 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 I have a p90. I didn't read the other thread. I'm doing something a bit different. I'm wondering how much clearance there is between the intake and hood for my application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler031734 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 So what your telling me is the diesel intake barely fits between the hood already. I'm measuring from the flat area which is almost 1/2" shorter than the front of the cam cover, But not the 1" to 1 1/2" I was hoping for. Hmm. Than I will modify these intakes the hard way... Still hoping to find a local with a longblock in a Z I could mess with. I find useing small cardboard boxes is a decent way of finding clearance issues. I got a 3" air filter on my sbc swaped 78 that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xnke Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) AT THE FRONT OF THE ROCKER COVER. The hood slopes down, you will have no issues except for the front corner. Edited October 2, 2014 by Xnke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I see your giant intake plenum I think I won't have any issues. I'll just angle the throttle body downward. Thanks for the useful pic.

Man that looks like some Soviet-Era photograph there...all the trees look dead! What a bleak backdrop for such a nice engine snappy... What killed the trees?

Xnke Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 That photo was taken in January, I believe. And yes, it's pronounceable...many people have no issues with it. That intake didn't clear the hood by about 3/4". It also is 22" long, so the shorter LD intake plenum should clear fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
