Flipping the intake????

11-11-2001, 10:06 AM

Just outa curiosity..This for those looking to put a blower on their lightning using a mustang kit...Why couldn't the intake be turned to face the right way along with a switch to a mustang water pump so it turns the right way? Don't know if it would work but it's a thought...

Main thing I see as a problem is the tb wouldnt have room if the intake were the other way around. Just not enough room if it were turned around. Not to mention the space that would be needed for the intake piping.

You'll have to re-plumb all the vacuum stuff, too, which is doable but a PITA. Since I've just done the opposite - turned a Mustang intake around to the truck's direction, I've been dealing with that issue.

Yes it can be done with a little fabrication... Relocate the vacuum tree, lengthen the wires for a few sensors and If ya get rid of the EGR spacer there's plenty of room!
