Default LSA into gen III 'maro

Anybody done one yet and know if it will clear the stock hood?

LS3 with Edelbrock E-Force blower?

LSA and the Eforce blower are different animals.

I would go with the Eforce - they are meant to fit under the hood of a Vette.

The problem you will run into is which accessory drive you choose.

I am not sure the Vette drive will fit in a Third gen w/out problem.s...

To give a little better background, we're doing an LS conversion into a customer's gen III, plan was to go with an E-Rod LS3 and put the Edelbrock unit on top because both have EO numbers for California. This project has been on hold for a while, but now as we're getting started back up we have found that the LSA motor now is offered in the E-Rod package and if possible would like to do that as long as it will fit under the stock hood (customer stipulation).

Check out Third-gen.org or whatever site there is - or search on here for hood clearance.

I am not sure how much taller the blower and intercooler hat is then the LSx plastic manifold.
