6.4 Throttle Body Orientation

[spoolinlust]

I tried doing a search but did not come up with much on the subject.

The short of it is, I'm custom/test fitting a 6.4 intake on my 2004 5.7 and need to clock the throttle body 180 degrees to get the clearance I need. Normally I would just go for it and see what happens. Problem is the truck isn't tuned for the injectors etc. This will ultimately (hopefully) go in my 6.1 stroker in a few months and just working out the bugs in my 5.7 to prevent time delays on a fresh motor just sitting in my engine bay.

Looking to see if anyone has done it and how did it work out.

I used Chris Steermans relocation brackets and a little clearancing on the manifold and so far so good.

I am using some 3/8 spacers that seem to almost give me enough clearance on the timing cover but the t cover needs a little trimming.

Some images attached.

Doesn't really matter which way it's clocked as long as you can plug in the electrical connector. What about using a Throttle Body Spacer to gain some more clearance,it won't add any power,but might give you a little more working room around things that are in the way

I didn't think it would, just have to knock the dowel pins off the intake side. Unfortunately the amount needed to get passed the motor is just to much for a spacer.
