Re: New here, My Series III 1999 Firebird 3.8 v6 turbo build
I think hes refering to rotating the entire (upper and Lower) intake from the
L26. I dont see why it wouldnt work physically, the heads are identical i.e. they can go on either side of the block. The bolt holes would match up either way you set it on there. the rest of it would need modding, would be cool to see though. the water jacket path would be problimatic, if you look at that picture the head with the oil cap flows tword the plastic elbow hole, while it looks like the other side flows to the thermostat. Id love to get a look at an L26 manifold set to check this out.

Exactly Pewter, Im building a 3800 for a Blue 87 Buick T I got and want todo that project.
Instead of useing the Camaro intake Id like to turn the whole intake L26 around and make it work if possible.

Have you noticed one head sits further forward then the other? The intake only fits one way.

Im well aware of that. Ever notice the bottom of the LIM is a paralelagram?
If you rotate a paralelagram 180 degrees its no different in shape than before you rotated it.

I suggest you try this before telling people it works.
I would love to know where in that reply I stated that it would work with one hundred percent certainty. I even went so far as to state that I would like to get a closer look at it.
I assume since you state that it does not work that you have tried, what were the specific reasons it failed? How about something a little more descriptive than one head is shifted forward.
Re: New here, My Series III 1999 Firebird 3.8 v6 turbo build
Well I'm planning on giving it a shot. I think it will work. If not ill have to use a camaro/firebird intake. But as far as I can tell the ports and bolts line up.

I would really appreciate it if you could take some pictures as you test fit it, id love to get a look at how it sits.
Hey everyone! I've been trying to remove my transmission for two days now! I need to replace the clutch. Only thing I've got left holding the transmission...
