Default Foxbody LS6 intake question....

I have done an hour of research and have not come up with anything, so that is my cutoff lol. Does an LS6 intake fit under a stock foxbody hood. Plain and simple answers only. I have a TeamZ cross member. Thanks

LS6 intake isn't any taller than the coils on the valve covers, so unless your whole engine is sticking out of the hood, it'll fit.

I figured I would share the measurements in case anyone else had that same question as I did.

I have three intakes here. Edelbrock pro-flo xt, lq4 truck, and an LS6

The edelbrock measures 10"

The truck can be as high as 11.5" but if trimmed could potentially be lower than the edelbrock.

And lastly the question I originally had for this thread. The LS6 intake is 6.25" tall

Actually the LS6 intake is higher than the coils. I didn't take an exact measurement but I would venture to say at least 1"-2".
