Default Flipping the LS3 Throttle Body

Hello all.

I have low hood clearance on my conversion and as it is, the throttle body [an LS3 DBW TB] just hits the hood. I was thinking of flipping the throttle body. I did so and it does bolt up fine and it does clear the hood but i am worried if theres something that could go wrong during operation or something I havent thought of???

In order to do this, the crossover steam pipe must be bent a bit an im not worried about doing that. Anything else?

Thanks!

DWB means no cable geometry to worry about. The physical stuff fits so use it

The small motor doesnt care what direction it is

Great thanks. I didnt know if there were any other functional passages within the outer rim of the TB that needed to align with the intake or something.
