LB9 into 4th gen

Whoever closed that thread should be shot. There is more info, and as the guy has 2 third gens, he deserves help. Now, what I do know is that the TPI will fit if you slightly notch the sheetmetal at the base of the windshield, but some BFH work will be necessary for clearing the distributor, unless converting to a crank-trigger, and then it's still a snug fit. Also, due to the hoodline, you hafta use LT1 accessories and brackets, which require a little bit of modification. Using the third gen exhaust manifolds or headers is out, too.

Okay, then shoot me.

The Board rules are clear, as was the explanation. If you would like to discuss it with him, then do so via PMs.
