Very cool and talented individual.

I'm also the guy that is responsible for the throttle body being kicked up at an angle like that. I had design/release for the engine air induction system on the truck platform side; Darn Powertrain engineers put the throttle body on the front of the engine right behind the cooling fan, not leaving any room for the air induction duct.

I suggested angling the inlet so that I could make the turn from the right front fender, honoring their airflow restriction requirements.

Noticed in the first post the omission of the solid lifter L78 and LS-6 engines from the engine options. Was this pretty typical of Chevy back then?
