Default Can an LS7 intake be reversed?

In some mid-engine situations, the intake needs to be reversed with the TB over the bellhousing.

Is this possible with an LS7?

Thanks,

David

The problem you will run into is the oil pressure sending unit will be in the way. Other than that, yep

Is that a fixable problem? Can it be tapped in somewhere else? Does the main galley have any external plugs?

Yes you can. Here is an example on our dyno for a mid engine application.

We cut part of stantion for the sending unit for clearance tapped it 3/8 pipe, plugged it, and the sending unit will go in the side of the block.

Alright! I see your considering an LS7-powered GTM. David, give me a call or email. We have crate engines and pistons in stock.
