What can i do for an intake?

Hey guys. I swaped a LT1 into my camaro and the 1LE elbow i planned on using runs right into my alternator. I cant turn it upside down because the IAT sensor is too short.

I could use the stock setup but its restrictive isnt it?

What about a MAF TPI firebird elbow?

Any ideas guys?

Add wires on the IAT sensor harness and extend the length of the wires.

Or maybe ask Bingo. I think his LT1 swap has the corvette accessories.

That is what i will do then. Adding splices into wires makes me uneasy though cause its just one more connection that can fail.

I think bingo has that ram air setup for that hood.


thanks

You should have no problems with your wires if you do a good job soldering the wires together and use heatshrink-tubing. Yeah its not ideal but if done right then its not that bad either.

I say just make a pigtail to lengthen the harness. You can get all the terminals and wires off the internet and saves you from chopping in to your harness.
