LT1 Inlet
« on: September 19, 2007, 06:53:04 PM »
Is there anyone in OZ who has successfully converted an LT1 inlet manifold to accept a HEI distributor..?

First hand experience or leads would be appreciated.
This is for a proposed TPI to LT1 inlet swap on a C4.


Thanx in anticipation...

I don't know anyone here but I guess you're already familiar with LT1intake.com?

It might be easier to get hold of a TPIS mini ram , same as LT1 inlet and made to go straight on to L98's.
Beside the distributor issue, are the coolant passages the same, because I think LT1 's are a reverse flow type of motor.
Good luck. Let us now how you go

White...u r correct...a Miniram would be easier.
And correct again..there are no coolant passages in the LT1 inlet, as they are, indeed, reverse flow.

Thunder...thanx, yes I am aware of LT1intake.com.

fixer...I have some parts, and I checked U2U, but there is nothing from you...?

Thanks for the replies.
Meanwhile, I will keep looking...

Hey fixer, I think you accidentally sent that U2U to me instead of 1G1YY.  Please re-send it to him.

Hi guys

Be carefull posting your e-mail address on web sites.  There are trogens out there that surf websites and pick up email address's.  Next thing you know you are getting spam.  Either u2u your email or link it as I have now done for"fixer"

Hope you sought out your manifold query 1G1YY

The stock HEI will fit if you remove the EGR boss but still very little room to rotate for adjustment.The stock fuel line across the rear also presents a problem  The small cap / remote coil
 F- body dist is the easier way.

The LT1 fuel rail outlets face the wrong way; easier to  weld
-6 AN  fittings on rails and run remote AFPR.

There is very little meat (3mm ) left above the water ports compared to a L98 head; I am welding a bead on the manifold to give some extra clamping on the gasket around the water outlets..
