LS Intake to hood clearance

[64nailhead]

I’ll be the 1st to say, quivelling over 30-40hp in the 500hp area is not even really noticeable on the street imho.

I was more interested in getting a jab in at Shawn (haha). Appearance wise is a different story - the 1st Gen truck intake is amazingly ugly - almost like someone at GM didn’t get the memo that it can’t look like a caveman made it.

What will fit on top of a 6L LS and under a stock GN hood.

I know a Holley Hi Ram is too tall. The intake will see some pressure too.

TBSS intake fits nice on my 85MCSS. Filled, sanded & painted to get rid of the ugliness

Been a while since I've looked at one, anywhere on the back you can tap into for the Brake Booster vac hose?

Yes, there is a port that accepts some sort of swivel connector (GM). I just drilled it out & tapped it for a 3/8NPT barbed fitting. It's plastic

Good chance it will be a cast aluminum intake. Anyone try a BTR or Holley Low rise?

The engine is a cathedral port 6.0L, single turbo.

I usually like to see dimensions from a drawing but I saw a video of Holley Mid Rise vs a Trailblazer SS and on the bench they were the same height. Not much to go on but since a TBSS fits, I chose a Mid Rise and alot of hope.

Bone stock LS with TBSS intake and all truck pulley and water pump fits a stock hood 1983 cutlass with stock Chevy mounts with zero modifications

Anyone use the Edelbrock ProFlo on a Gbody with stock hood? I know they are basically the same height as a truck intake.

Injected Cutty is using a Holley intake=

Truck intake is about 8" tall. With proper mounts, anything lower than that will fit.

Plenty of pics on the Google of what height each intake is.
