You have to change a lot. Go over to performance truck and search

Is the engine still in the truck? Or are you placing it in the Camaro?

If it's in the truck, you will have to swap the accessory drive setup to a car type to clear the lower throttle body placement.

As for the truck injectors, you will have to get a kit to make them fit the correct rail for the intake. Or swap out the connectors for the LS-1 injectors and use the whole LS-1 intake, injectors, and rail setup.

If it's a new body style truck with a L76 6.0L then the LS6 won't fit the heads, because they use L92 heads on it.

If its a LQ9 then it will fit all you need is an L92 water pump and injector plug adapters.

your truck intake flows just as much as the ls6 intake.... the really the only reason you would be changing it is for the look.....
