Default LS1 Swap - intake elbow
Good Afternoon All,

I am working on the LS1 from a 2002 Z28 Camaro that I am swapping into my '75 and trying to find what I think should be a pretty common piece, a 90° fitting that connects the 3 7/8 throttle body inlet (OD) to the 3.5" (OD) MAF sensor. I have been looking around and cannot find one. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Scott

I've used rubber hoses and tubing from Intake Hoses.com with good success.

A good 3.5 silicone elbow will stretch right on to the 3 7/8 throttle body no sweat.
