Intake Manifold I have an 06 Vortec in my 69 Chevelle that I would like to replace the intake on and get rid of some of the clutter from unused bolt downs and such. Can I use a intake from an LS engine if not does anyone know where I can buy one for a Vortec searched but came up empty!

Vortec is a "branding" name of motors,usually referring to the truck and SUV versions of the LS engine family.What exactly did your motor come out of? If you are interested in a LS1(flat criss/cross intake like out of a FBody or Corvette) PM me.You will most likely need to chage injectors and fuel rail too.

Oh yeah, that looks pretty familiar! OK, I'm guessing (pretty sure) that it has the std rectangle-port intake, which would mean that you'd need to get the L76 intake manifold to work with that style port.
If I'm mistaken & it has the "cathedral" intake ports (shaped tall & skinny, & tapering to a near-point at the top), then you could use the LS1 or LS6 type intake manifolds.
Another alternative that I remember reading about was someone taking a dremel or a die grinder to the top of the truck intake to remove a lot of the extraneous crap, then smoothed it out a bit & finished it with some paint. As I recall, it looked pretty good!
Hope this helps.
