Yes the TB on the LSx is in the front facing forward in most applications.

No, but it is possible to delete the EFI and get a intake manifold for a carburetor. But if you're gonna do that, just grab a SBC motor and plop that in there.

Yeah, I've seen the carb intakes for them before. For some reason I thought everything was symetrical and you could just turn the manifold around and bolt it back down. I was wrong. Oh well it's been a few years since I have messed with an LS1. All I do is subies anymore.

I wouldn't say they are garbage because they can make some power.

UPDATE
I buddy of mine found me a 10k mile SVX motor from a dismantler. Was involved in an accident and the pass side cam timing gear is busted up. Other than that it looks pretty clean. Will be doing a inspection on it this weekend and if it's good, then it will be going into the SVX. Looks like V8 SVX is not going to happen anytime soon. bw |

Pass side timing gear is busted.
Cam gear housing cover is cracked, Valve cover near the of the head is busted. where it mates up to the cam gear housing. I have yet to pull the covers off, but i am pretty sure that this will be good to go. I mean the injectors are still bright red in color. Most SVX injectors are a faded pink due to age. Fear not Mongoosaroo... this motor is going into my wife's SVX. No sense in putting a fresh motor into a car that I might sell. Wife's SVX motor is going into the parts SVX. That way I can drive it around and not have it sit. I might end up selling it but I also might be secretly gathering parts for the SBC swap. You never know what you will find in the back of my garage BW |
