yes inside the cowl, it will have a door

Ok, I've seen it done that way just not sure I'd be comfortable with it on my vehicle. It will look AWESOME though.

[watahyahknow]

it will be hard to get to the MC as long as you can get too it to take off the lid you can use a seringe and a little piece of hose to fill it up from underneat the dash
two small holes in from the top under the hood would be eazier but you cant see when the reservour overflows
i guess a daiper on the floor under the MC should be enough to catch any spilling but im not sure if it absorbs oil like substances , its eazy to test if it does though

[67cheby]

hmmmmm..i like that , maybe a drain pan with a hose going outside !

Now that sounds like a good idea.

Gives a whole new meaning to 'Slosh Tub'

if you want to build a really clean / custom truck that is unique....nothing is going to be "EASY" !

Mike, I think that the "hot ticket" is the LS6 intake (Vette?) as far as factory goes, or a something like a FAST unit for built stuff... Im not terribly familiar with the LS stuff, I mostly do LT1's.

[67cheby]

i will check that out !

[Scottshotrods]

You can use the LS instake off a corvette and it will bolt on no problems at all.You might want to calll Mark at Street performance in Arkanasas.(479)394-5711.He will more in likely have several in his shop and might give you a good deal.Prepare to be on hold for long time.Mark is very sharp on the ls motors

looks like it gains about 15 to 20 hp with the change , from wat i read a camshaft gives a lot of gain too

[DrppdBlazr]

I got mine off ebay with fuel rail and injectors included for around $300
sorry kinda crappy pic of the intake itself....
I wouldnt do a ls6 intake unless you find one for a really good price cause at the cost they go for you might as well get a nice aftermarket one like fast as mentioned before.

[RocketKing]

Watch the water pump and idler pulley...

yep def need a new waterpump since the truck waterpump top hose hits the tb. THen you can either switch out to camaro/corvette accesories or use spacers for waterpump

Mike, something to think about with the LS1/LS6 intake. You will lose some torque with these intakes, as compared to the "truck" intake. The HP numbers are pretty even when comparing the two (Truck & LS Vette), until about 5500 RPM or so, then the HP numbers fall off the truck intakes.

I don't know the exact numbers, but if you're going to be doing some towing, you may want to look into that a bit, plus the blazer, I'm assuming, is a little heavier than a truck.

FAST intake will provide low end torque that the truck intakes are famous for and deliver that top end HP too. Check it out. Kinda spendy though!

i agree i was looking at the prices of one of those intakes and it was pretty steep it might be that there stand alone cpu was included in the set i looked at though

another option might be turbocharging or fitting a centrifugal supercharger to a otherwize stock motor , it would give a great wow factor to the motor too
compared to the prices of the fast setup it doesnt cost a lot more extra
the supercharger will give a ton of power down low , it will pull the towhitch right of the trailer , you are going to need a little bigger radiator though to keep everything cool enough to operate under boost for a longer time at highway speeds pulling cloud 9 , at low boost putting in 1 extra injector operating by a boostswitch mounting a stronger fuelpump and putting in a boostreverenced fuelpressurevalve should be enough to keep the fuelratio in the green
i seen a lot of turbo stuff using the lq and ls type motors they seem to be able to handle boost verry whell

[DrppdBlazr]

^^^ nice deal for sure...

Hey Mike..not sure if you measured this at all when the tank and axle were still in but what was the space like between the axle and front of the gas tank? Is there any room in there at all? Any idea of how many inches it is, In other words do you know if a bag would fit behind axle and infront of gas tank...its hard to get under mine right now to tell. Thanks for any help

[N2TRUX]

When your trying to decide what intake to run, note that most of the low pro intakes make the motor look squished. They sit low in a square making them look even flatter. If asthetics are of concern, you will need a taller truck style intake.
