It will "work", but you wont get any power out of it. In fact, depending on how much and who ported it, you could create turbulence at the port and lose power.

You want the intake ports to be slightly smaller then the heads ports. If they are larger, the incoming air will smash into the lip of the cylinder head ports.

I would wait to install it until you get headers. Stock LT1 manifolds are terribly restrictive.

I broke outta that bitch a long time ago. I try to fly under the radar though and not let people know I know a thing or two..

So its all about tha air flow?

Isn't that why you got it ported to begin with?

A ported intake isnt going to yield much of any kind of benefit without having a need for more air. And like Puck said, if the intake runners are bigger than the intake ports on the heads, you will have a HUGE air restriction. Same concept as people trying to "gasket match" intakes to heads, to get rid of any turbulence between them.

Ported intake manifolds aren't worth the money. Save your cash dude.
