First test fit 5.7 truck engine

Kiddart1,

Thanks for the crash course on Engines and intake manifolds. This will help a lot in my project.

My engine is a 2014 truck engine with the awkward throttle body pointing straight up. I need to dig my engine out of garage storage and take a long look at that intake. I am sure someone would have hacked the intake and made it work by now if it was at all possible. Meantime I will keep looking for the intake that will work for me.
Thanks for the help.

I was looking into possibly modifying the 5.7 intake by pie cutting under throttle body to tilt it down. I have been researching plastic welding. I did find videos of people patching holes in LS manifold. I really don't want to change the whole front of the motor if I don't have to.
