Default SBC Manifold On A LT1 ??

Can you put a regular in take manifold and a carb on a LT1 motor? And if so what do you have to do?

Yes you can, but you will have to convert the manifold to the LT1 bolt pattern or the heads to the SBC pattern. Convert it for EFI if it isn't already. Have to get an elbow of some sort to mount the TB to. www.intakelbows.com does a few as well as Wilson. Fuel rail mounts, and other misc things. I think all together it will be around a 1200 project. Check with SStroker, he does these conversions.

except Ronnie said he wanted to "put a regular intake manifold AND CARB on a LT1 motor"...

So like what was said above, you can adapt a SBC manifold to the LT1 bolt pattern or adapt the LT1 heads to the SBC manifold. Doing the latter of two choices means you 'should' have the heads off the engine.

Or you can just order a GMPP LT1 carb intake from summit for a couple hundred bucks. Only downfall is that its not a single plain intake. Its meant for basically stock engines.

Ooops, yeah kinda missed that part

Should be even easier then and less expensive, just have to get an adjustable regulator to turn your fuel pressure down for the carb.

And run a std dizzy instead of the opti crap... Opti doesnt work without the pcm controlling the ignition. Good thing all these intakes are already setup with the hole for a distributor

What car is this thing going into? I just assume it's going in a 93-97 F-body, maybe he's doing a swap.
