Default Any difference between a Zo6 and a F-Body LS6 intake?
Real quick question....I have a chance to get a LS6 intake from a Z06...is it the same as a F-Body intake and will it fit a F-body?

It will fit, but you'll need the brass inserts to work on an F-body.

What you really need are the coolant cross over lines for the heads.

i dont think the corvette intakes have a throttle cable bracket, but it would be an easy fix.

It'll work. Just use a dremel to take off the fins on the bottom of the intake. Most people use a hammer and a chisel but I wanted to be careful.
