5.0 Intake Rotation

Hey guys, I am usually in the 48 - 60 forum but have a question for the 302 experts. I think someone told me that the intake plenum, throttle body etc can be rotated 180 degrees. Any truth to this? If so what is involved? Thx.

It depends on what intake manifold you are planning on using. I think this can be done with a GT40 intake manifold, and possibly the stock mustang intake manifold, but the truck manifold only mounts one way.

tragik is correct. you can ratote it 180. I did this with my EFI swap from a car to my truck. The only problem you might have is interference from the fuel regulator depending on which fuel rail you use. the regulator needs to be on the throttle body side of the upper intake.
