I'm using an MSD dist stub that generates a cam sync signal and BS-3's 24x crank sensor. I also chose to replace the stock LT-1 intake with a single plane, 90* elbow and an Accu-Fab 90mm throttle body. I'm hoping this all works out the way I want it to...should be interesting. Keep us posted on your progress, good luck.

i didnt want to be forced to switch to a ls1 ignition, and therefore have to pay $500 more for the ls1 bs3 box.

do you have any pics of you intake? im trying to find one like that. it would make my placement of a dual sync dizzy.

What cap would you use on the dual sync distributor to fit under the cowl area on the LT1 setup?

I've got a friend who has drilled around 15 LT1 intakes to fit the rear mount distributor and I am considering ditching the OPTI and going for the MSD or Accel Dual Sync to hook up to my DFI..

Thanks,

Sean

that is the intake i wanna use.

which IM is it?

it will allow for easier fitment of a dual sync dizzy, and it will let me go to a bigger, single butterfly throttlebody.

Is it the same John Meaney who created DFI, and Big Stuff 3? Do you have any details about his motor? That intake is pretty tall
