LT1 intake on 305?
Hey guys, I originally asked this question in the "general engine" forum but I got no answers. So I thought I'd try this forum. Thanks!

yeah it can be done yes but i think the bolt holes dont line up probably a pain in the a**. u got to take heads to a machine shop and close bolt holes and drill new ones.

It would not even be worth the effort if you weren't doing significant mods to the rest of the engine while you were at it.

yeah the lt1 intakes dont flow very good the design alows the front cylinders to recieve more air flow than the rear so wouldnt be worrh the trouble.

Cyl 7/8 lean conditions are present on ALL front inlet log style manifolds. TPI, LT1 and all LS series have this flaw. The only remedy is switching to a center inlet like a single plane EFI manifold. Your tuner will be able to cope with this minor setback
It would not even be worth the effort if you weren't doing significant mods to the rest of the engine while you were at it.

I have the intake and would recommend it to anyone, plus it looks killer

Re: LT1 intake on 305?
And as Pocket already mentioned, how is that ANY different than the TPI, the TPIS Mini Ram, Ram Jet, or Stealth Ram?
My original point was that, if the intake was the only mod being performed on the 305, it would be pointless to go through the work required to put the LT1 intake on because the heads flow so horribly, the cam sucks, and the exhaust would be exhaling through a straw.
WITH those mods, the intake would be WELL worth the effort due to the increased flow over the, I'm assuming, TBI intake, and still a better intake for horsepower than a stock TPI intake.

Gads, a Stealth Ram is so much easier, and I can't imagine how it could be more expensive than going through an LT1 mod for a Gen I engine.

Re: LT1 intake on 305?
i get your point but there are mod u can do better than the lt1 intake and probably less of a pain in the a** and on the power curve talk yeah will probably give 5 hp more over the tpi but more than likely less torque but idc

Maybe I'm a little slow, but I didn't get the impression this was a do-it-yourself project. Or that an LT1 intake was in-hand.

Re: LT1 intake on 305?
its not a remove and replace project, thats for sure.
and perhaps a efi vic with a 90*elbow would cost about the same and have better hp potential and bolt on. not sure its worth the mod on a 305 unless the motor is forced induction.

Re: LT1 intake on 305?
why go through all the trouble why not just dump a lt1 in it instead of the 305?

true to me it just sounds like a better idea you probably spend less time doing that lol
