Xero Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 (edited) i was lookin at a few posts and i was wondering if an LS6 intake manifold swap would fit and work on my 4.8? im told that the 4.8-6.0 even the LS1's are the same.

SS1316 Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 you need to change your water pump to a vette or f boby type water neck in front not the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSAlaska Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Your the guy that painted his truck with spray paint right? I am sure you could find a way to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedBerserker Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 It only nets something like 8 hp over the stock manifold. Not worth it, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xero Posted November 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 (edited) i took off the air dam where my fog lights are and got some color matched spray paint from the local paint shop. and i painted my bumper. the bottom was greay and the rest of the truck is black so it needed to go. by the way, i didn't put any clear on.

slimsoftball Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Your the guy that painted his truck with spray paint right? I am sure you could find a way to make it work. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your point with this reply was what? The guy was asking about an intake.

vette dude Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 i dont thing there is any difference stock between the truck manifokld and the LS-6 one, i think you also have to change the alternator bracket and such, i didn'[t think the water pump was a nessisary switch but it may be...

styleandspeed Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 (edited) you can just cut down on the neck of the wp coming up also so it isn't necessary but... Also you have to get a idler pulley adapter from speartech. Other than that it is pretty much just getting the fuel injectors to fit right. Or getting LS1 style with new injector plugs. that would probably be the easiest way unless you can find a return style fuel rail.

Xero Posted November 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 i looked on ebay and would an ls1 intake flow any better than my stocker? even if its only a few h.p. more, for 130 bucks shipped i dont mind. nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vette dude Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 i looked on ebay and would an ls1 intake flow any better than my stocker? even if its only a few h.p. more, for 130 bucks shipped i dont mind. nick <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, dont swap intakes, it is not worth it, the truck/6.0 intake flows just as good as the LS-6 for stock heads and cam... If u want to upgrade, get the FAST intake... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
