Ive used both FBody and truck offset with no issues at all. As long as you have the correct brackets and water pump it goes together easy.



Truck offset

Re: LS swap what's best front drives?

Punkmaster- thanks ive got some 4th gen stuff laying around but wanted to ask before I leap,

Qwktrip- beautiful!

Part of the reason I'm concerned is I plan on running a SLP dual air intake and dont want to end up with lack of room for that! I'll need to fab a tube from it to T/B and its going to need MAF then what harness I've been looking at the PSI and then a ECM I'd like to get one with tune already done or?

EDIT: is there any reason the 4th gen would have any issues with the LS3 DBW TB?

I should have some pictures of my formula around here with the ls1 and dual SLP intake

I have an old setup picture of it in my album
