I have a 3.4 swap as most of you know. With the 3.4 in there running the aos back to the throttle body was interesting at least. It was possible with some tubing and clamps. It still doesnt fit that well. My question is, what if I plug the throttle body hole for the aos and run the aos tube to the intake pipe. Will that be ok? I dont see why not. My reasoning is the way that it fit with the 3.4 in there is just not good enough and was creating a vacuum leak. It just wouldnt seal good with the o ring and all that. I have already fabbed up the aeroquip fittings to re route it to the intake tube before the throttle body. Any thoughts?
