I just ordered a cowl hood and am wondering how high can I space my tbi? Is it possible to get my airfilter into my cowl with spacers or is there a point where the spacing is too much? I am estimating I will need 2-3in to get a good portion of the cleaner in.

 

you shouldnt raise the throttle body into the cowl, just seal off the air cleaner to the cowl to get that air

 

Hmm alrighty. Whats up WS6 long time no see... My other question was, do you think the edlebrock intake thats sitting on my 73 350 in my basement will boltup to my 88 LO3?

 

yeah it should but you will have to change the angle of the bolt holes in the intake manifold for it to work because the angle of the middle 4 bolts on your stock manifold are different from the ones on the 73... you will also need an adapter plate for the tbi and theres a couple other things you will have to change over like modding your throttle bracket to mount on the new manifold, possible delete of EGR, drilling for sensors and routing coolant lines, not too difficult but just things to think about, IMO try getting the edelbrock TBI manifold since it bolts right up and its easy, but if you wanna do something like that im sure you can find people on here that could help ya out

anyway, since i sold my car i have been really out of the whole thing man... i miss the hell out of it, i should have never sold it and ive been looking for another car but nothing has caught my eye (if you know of anything that i might be interested in thirdgen wise that might be worth taking a look at let me know) ... ive been driving my fathers old 91 trans am lb9/auto and it sucks cuz i miss my TBI/t5... that tbi would own this lb9 even with the mismatch gears in the back... ive been thinking about building a 355 and dropping in a t56 w/ 410s into the 91 but i dont know what i want to do... i have the money but just not sure right now...so lately ive been lurking and thinking about comming back into the thirdgen game just to tune people so idk well see what comes up man

 

I'll let you know if I see anything around here...If you've got money buy my 350 only $1500 and its completly redone, 300rwhp I beleive.

Modding the manifold I have sounds like a pain in the ***. Maybe it would be more worth it to fork out the 200 for a TBI manifold...

Starting to think next paycheck is manifold + tbi spacer

 

I know this is a old thread, but i get alot of my info from old threads so thought Id add this:I have a Goodmark cowl hood and i run a Spectre x-stream filter on top of a 3in tall Spectre round filter on my tbi. Summit racing has them in a summit brand and Ive seen them at pep boys. They make a x-stream top at a better price. What i like about the pep boys Spectre filters is you can get them in ether red or blue.You can really hear the filter sucking through the cowl.
