Title: Can I rotate the intake on a 3.5 EB?
Post by: suprathepeg on September 21, 2017, 10:54:18 AM
Can the 3.5 EB intake be rotated to position the throttlebody over the back of the motor?

I don't think it's possible without major modifications.
The tstat housing is incorporated into it.

Certainly an interesting question.

Can't say I've ever heard of anyone having presented this question before, or even having considered completing such a mod.

Glock's correct in the tstat housing and having to factor that into the equation.

May I ask what could possibly be the point of undertaking and/or performing such a mod?

Trying to free up some room to install something else perhaps??

A common mod on the yamaha v6 when installed into a rwd setup.

cut the intake runners in the middle and then weld them back together, rotating the base with the top. I don't know what you're going to do for room for the TB though... :)
