Default Suitable intakes to LM7

Tried to find some info by searching, but didn't find any clear statements...

So i am going to build a LM7 to ´69 camaro. I have the engine already, but need obviously change some lower intake manifold. Ebay is full of intakes from LS1, but the LS2 mostly looks better. So the question would be does the LS2 intake fit to LM7? I know the intake channel shape is the same, but there have been some comments regarding the valley cover?!

Thanks in advance!

Ok, You wanna be more precise? Why is it garbage? Does it flow less than LS1 intake then? The thing with the LS6 intakes seems to be that they costs double as much as the complete engine and actually is close of the price of a FAST intake.

I will put a Turbo on it, so it is not about 15hp now.

The main question was does the LS2 intake fit physically on an LM7 engine, or are there some collisions?

The LS2 intake flows about the same as an LS1 intake... the LS6 intake alone will gain you 10-15 horsepower..

The LS2 will fit on the LM7 but you would need to get the LS2 fuel rail since the mounting is different

lol, its more like 5 to maybe 10 horsepower over the LS1 and the LS6 is a slightly better design then the LS2.

Since the OP is doing a turbo the intake discussion becomes pretty much irrelevant
