Re: 1987 R20 Suburban LQ4 4L80E swap

**update**
Funny how life seems to get in the way as soon as you start on a project like this! The last couple weeks, my two days off work have been taken up helping friends move etc...
Found some time yesterday to work on the truck a little. I got my stainless steel flexible upper radiator hose, my air intake tube, and my fuel/trans cooler lines measured and ready for cutting. After these things are cut to length, should be able to start it!
One thing I have run into, my air intake (Spectre cold air intake) puts the air filter right where my battery sits. Instead of relocating the battery, am going to cut about 5" off the intake tube/pipe. I am worried the filter is so big it may not fit when the hood is closed and my rub my new a/c compressor. If all else fails, could I just install a filter directly onto my throttle body and mount the mass air flow sensor between the filter and throttle body?
