My 6.1 retrofit thread
- The harness install was easy, the ECU is straight fwd programmeable.
- I am running a Reverse manual valve body so no kickdown rod or cable mounting issues
- Lokar accelerator cable and throttle springs resolve any issues there.
- The intake went on like a dream except that the casting of the runners is a little too close to the bolts - so I had to "crescent" the washers.
Here's a pic of a manifold bolt.
The real issue is the pipes on the drivers side - and to a lesser extent the TTI mounts.
BTW - I found out after calling Bob Mazzolini why the clearance on mine is less than a lot of these "magazine conversions -
TTI sell the same mount adapters for both the 6.1 and the 5.7................and the 6.1 is .5" higher and also the heads are noticeably wider than the 5.7..........hence the snug fit on our passenger side and also the height issues.
