Default What's with this LS1 ?

This looks interesting. The throttle body is pointed front but the drive belt,power steering, etc, are on the back?? Am I looking at this wrong? I hope I posted the link correctly.....

the intake manifold is on backwards, im prestty sure they can be mounted either way depending on the aplication, LS1's are used in sandrails and hotrods, and for example the GTM supercar by factory 5, im pretty sure the intake manifold is reversed for that aplication

LS1 COMPLETE ENGINE/450 HP?? 450hp doesn't sound right; did they mean 350hp? Seller with 0 feedback as well name changed from reconrick08 less than 30 days ago. That ID shows no account/feedback.

It is set-up for marine or off-road/sand use in where the intake won't suck in water/ sand etc, so it is reversed.

Interesting. Didn't know it could be done that way.
