Default LT1 Hood Clearance vs LS3
I'm curious if anyone has any info on the height of the LT1 intake vs the Gen IV engines? I'm considering an LT1 swap on a future project (911), and I know the LS3 is tight, so I'm curious if anyone has compared the two to see if there is much difference in height?

It seems to be taller. I have less room with LT1 than similar LS3 swaps, mainly in the throttle area
