Update..

The cable throttle body is now installed - it takes to adapter plates one that bolts to the intake manifold with the drive by wire (big brother is in your car) TB bolt pattern and a 2nd adapter plate to bolt an early LS1 cable operated TB. The 2 plates are then bolted together with a cable bracket.

The radiator clears the EDIS bracket fine - setting the initial timing looks like fun though... I think I fire the engine for 20 seconds or so before I install the rad and check the timing.

The PS resovoir does hit the inner fender - so I'm look for a solution - does anyone know if the LS engines use a remote resivoir and if the bolt pattern is the same as a 4.2 pump?

The Alternator hits the other inner fender - I have a 150amp alt. I'll check if the 120 amp will clear better. If so its a simple swap.

The rad hose situation is easier than 1st thought, I'll post pix and napa PN's once I have the final solution.


There is room for a puller fan, which is a bonus as with the 292 there was no room for a puller fan.
