383 240z Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 How much room to you have between the top of the intake and the hood. Also what mounts are you using? I've got a Gen 1 SBC in my 72 now using the Mike Knell (Jags that Run) mounts with LS adapters. Trying to figure if I can squeeze a shaved truck intake and factory oilpan, before I start buying parts that I don't HAVE to have. No a used LS1 intake isn't that expensive, neither is a used LS3 oil pan. But I have other things that need bought first. Engine in question is a LQ4.

383 240z Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 My plan is to get the engine and fuel system in place. Build the harness, get it running. Pull everything, add the other parts, re do engine bay, then re-install. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crapforum Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I have cxracing mounts and I can tell you the issue is not the hood hitting the intake that I had to worry about buy the intake hitting the hood latch. Definately will not clear a truck intake, if you dont have the hood latch clearance issue with your mounts then I think a shaved truck intake would be extremely close, but most likely still hit.

383 240z Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 How about your oil pan. Will a stock truck fit? Not for driving, but actually fit in the chassis? Just need to prove the fuel system and wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Merrill Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 This is a 2005 L33 5.3L LS engine on CX racing mounts. Broom handle is laying across the frame rails. You have about 1 3/4 - 2" clearance using a LS1 intake. Truck intake will hit the hood. This is a factory L33 truck pan on a non lowered factory suspension 71 240Z. I am swapping out the toe batwing oil pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
