the car is pretty cut up already. the cowl isn't really doing anything so really it's just weight on the car at this point. if it flows better, and i don't have to spend $300 on a new intake then it makes more sense to just trim a few inches IMO. i'd have to trim it eventually to put a cool intake on it someday anyway. As long as i don't have to notch the windshield i'm fine with it.
If you come across a cobra in the wild, wipe it off and apologize.
it's a 99-03 motor, that's all i can tell.

is the truck intake taller than a carb'd LS? because people trim the cowls to make those fir pretty easily.

I see what your saying. Damn, I knew there was a reason I couldn't find it done anyplace.

Yeah, the 4th Gen's cowl is why gm went to opti off the cam, no room to service a regular SBC dizzy. The truck intake is a lot taller. I am going to run a truck intake on my Caprice for the same reasons you want to (slightly better flow, cheaper/already have it) so I know how you feel. For a 5.3 though, a regular ls1 intake can be used no problem, and are relatively cheap. Ls2s can be had for decent cash, I got mine minus throttle body but with rails and injectors for $200 shipped.

No issue with the carb, I want to go efi for overall driveability. WOT its great, around town it eats gas. As for my comments above, just offering chunkybs some fitment info for his project.
1/4 mile times, they are less important to me than driveability. As for a-b comparison, I killed my motor remember? The next motor is only a 5.7. It'll be carb to start (time factor), but I still want to go efi eventually. I might be able to compare then. The 5.7 motor is something I am putting together so I can drive the car this year, just been travelling too much to work on it.
