I think whats nice about the ls1 intake manifold is its like an upper/lower intake in one. A manifold like that would give us 351 guys alot of hood clearance. Of course many things would need to be altered.
Well I'm sorry i could care less about the trademark stuff, this is going into a 93 rx7. i need some hood clearance is my concern not chevy vs. ford. Also dodge, nissan, toyota, andmaserati use the same style manifold. It is a great concept. Long runners low sitting manifold.
05 Mustang has a front facing TB manifold like the LS1's/LT1's
I'm sure it could be fabbed up, but I'm not sure who does em other than Hogans. And they can be expensive.
like someone mentioned above the distributor is going to be the biggest problem. You could fab one or have one made, but I don't think it would be worth the trouble. Why not get a spyder intake and turn the T/B elbow toward the front?
When I first got into cars it was a ford I owned so I think it's normal. It spooked my out when I first saw a distributor at the back. Talk about weird.
the new 05 stang does have an intake that looks like the ls1 i saw one today and the intake looked almost identical to an ls1 i have a vid if anyone wants to see it
