wrong intake manifold, no opti, the plug wires are headed to the rear for a std distributor, the alternator is on the wrong side. what a doofus.

I saw that car at the Turkey run and thought it was cool to see an LT1 bandit T/A (i knew someone with an 80 that had an LT1 and a 78 front clip) but when i looked at the motor i was like "WTF? that's not an LT1!"
