Actually my motor was out of a 99 Fbody. The only part that is corvette is the alternator bracket...and its spaced out 3/4" to match the fbody acces. It has an fbody water pump...and it still works fine for me.

Does 99'bucket have a few high res closeup pictures of his with the truck accessories?. I've looked at his page a couple of times but have a hard time making out a few of the finer details I'm lookin for.

What did you end up using from the cobra head to the maf and then on to airbox etc. Which number is the cobrahead I saw those but I do not have the throttle body here to measure to determine what I needed.

hell,what years have the dual fuel lines and the single fuel line on the top of the motrs?What would be the easiest to use as far as s10 swaps with the lsx motors?.I think I have it figured out thanks to ls2noma,but just seeing if anything else is out there.Well, why I'm here,is there any vacume diagrams to look at when hooking all this back as far as what in hell went where?

The only vaccum port you should need would be for the a/c, It has a single line that runs from the intake to a one way check valve by the abs unit, The valve will have vaccum from the engine, to the a/c, and then to the vaccum resevoir mounted in the side of the driverside fender. I hope this is what you were looking for.

Well if you are running a return style fuel system that is the fuel pressure regulator it needs vaccum from the intake to but make sure it is a direct port by itself.

Theres too much crap on the driver's side to run a clean air intake set-up in my opinion. Run it on the passenger side, theres more room. No alternator in the way. Also, I'm not seeing how the 90 elbow is hitting the water pump pulley. Did you mean that upper tensioner pulley?? That is a tight fit. It took some strategic positioning to miss that pulley. I just rotated my elbow on the throttle body alittle bit clockwise to get the air intake set-up to clear the tensioner pulley. Then made a mount off the EGR mount to hold it in place.

BlackLs1s10, where you at in Iowa? I'm working in Cedar Rapids right now. My 96 Blazer has a 5.3 with the passenger head about 1/8 inch from the firewall. It looks like I have a whole lot more room than you even with truck accessories. My problem is with a rubber 4 inch 90 and 4 inch alum tubing my tranny cooler line and rad overflow hose are in the way on the passenger side. I'm thinking of getting a cobra head elbow from intakehoses.com myself. I have to lok at the upper hose from the water pump when I get home to see if i'll have enough clearance.
