Default Can all LS6 intakes be used on a F-body?

I read that not all of the LS6 intakes are threaded for the throttle cable bracket on the f-bodies.

How do you guys work around this?

Can the intake be threaded if it is from a vette or GTO? I read there is a brass threaded insert in the f-body specific intake?

Thanks in advance,
John

I think that all LS6 intakes are threaded. If it's not threaded then it's probably a Corvette LS1 intake.

There are some early LS6 intakes from the '01-'02 Z06's without the threaded inserts. At some point once GM decided to eliminate the LS1 intake, all LS6 intakes came with the inserts.
