Re: tpi converted to lt1..

First thing's first, take it easy with the big font and the color. There is no need for it. Next try searching, this has been explained so many times that it is hopeless to post this because no one will answer. Good luck and trying searching.

Re: tpi converted to lt1..

i've done the LT1 intake conversion and the biggest thing is getting a distributor spacer at the right angle and making a hold down bolt hole. Its preffered that you weld up extra material on the manifold too but i used JB weld and epoxy steel putty
