Vortec throttle body elbow I am planning on dropping a 4.8/5.3 with T56 into my '92 Camaro and want to keep the Vortec intake for both budget sake and for the torque because this car is for autocross and track days. Anyway ....
Do they make an elbow that would move the throttle body down and out at a 45* angle, kinda like when people put a carb manifold on and still use the single blade throttle body they have that 90* elbow. Btw, it will be "drive by wire", no throttle cable.The idea is to lower the throttle body in hopes of having the smallest possible amount of stuff sticking through the hood. That's right, I'm just going to cut the hood, trust me the hood is dead anyway. The previous owner managed to do something to the front that would take a body man more time than it's worth to fix, that and the hood pins. Oh, and I will clean up the top of the Vortec manifold as much as possible, there are several threads online showing what not to grind down too far. Sorry, I couldn't search too well for this, I am on my phone and was hard enough to make this post.
Thank you,
Steven
