Default Rotating the 5.3 intake 180 degrees..??...
Has anyone done this?.. Is there a place I can learn more about this? I am interested in the 5.3 truck engine for a mid engine build. I am trying to find any "Bad news" now. Thanks for any help or advice...

The LS intakes are the same either direction you point them. They did it on Spike TV's 4x4 a while back when they were building a budget buggie with a 6.0!
