carb style intake.

Anyone running a carb style intake on their LS1 orLQ9 with and elbow? I know there are some low profile versions of it. I am just curious as the height of the intake and the elbow installed and how much higher it is compared the stock LS1 intake. Thanks guys.

Vic Jr on my 402 with the Intake Elbows elbow. No cowl mod on a C5, but a high rise hood is required.

Here's a couple pics of my car with a carbstyle intake and Edelbrock intake elbow. Looks as if it should clear a stock hood just fine. No cutting of cowl needed so far...
Big thanks to Mike and Steve up at ICON who are doing the work on my
408 F1a build.

I ordered the edelbrock elbow since it is supposed to fit without modifications to the hood or cowl.

Yes, Just on the bottom side, you never see it from the outside.

F body elbow from intake elbows with a GMPP single plane intake will fit under a 3rd gen firebird hood. Bueatiful craftmanship as well. It was $225. G
