Can someone measure from the flat surface the intake manifold seals to (ya know, the one you have to put a bead of silicone on, lightly bolt up the manifold, let it set, then torque it down only to have it leak anyways) to the underside of the engine lid?
I need to make some intake manifold mods for my LT1. There was a rumor that the intake would just flip around, putting the trottle body at the rear and less in the way. I have just confirmed that it won't flip around. It's VERY close though. ports line up, holes line up, but those two horizontal sealing surfaces are different from front to back. I now have two options: 1. Modify those sealing surfaces 2. Mount the throttle body elsewhere on the manifold I'm leaning towards #1 because it looks easier. If I don't have room to mount the throttle body on the top of the manifold then that will force me to option #1.. which is why I need the measurement.

No I am talking about the carb intake manifold with a FI throttle body on it. You just drill the bungs for the fuel injectors and mount them at the head like the LT1 manifold. You cuold probably use the fuel rail from the LT1 as well as the fuel injectors.
