Anyone know if you can rotate intake 180 deg. So that TB is pointing towards firewall. I am working on a 1970 camaro installing a 5.3 with DBW, my restoration project.
Have a 2" Cowl hool and want to pull cool air from the rear. Just a crazy Idea.
I'd seen a hotrod once with a rear facing TB can't remember which magazine it was.Thanks Ernie

Only things I could see as problems would be if the front coolant pipe is in the way, and at the rear if the oil pressure sender blocks the TB. Then just a matter of routing the vacuum and brake booster lines. Might have to re route the fuel line too if you can't bolt up the fuel rails and injectors in the stock orientation.
