Probably the 10000TH time you saw this question!!
I am looking for a quick straight answer, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. First i have an LQ9 (6.0) from an 04 Escalade with Electronic throttle and whole wiring harnes. It obviously came with an Automatic transmission originally too. I am putting it into my 67 camaro, and at the point where i have the engine and T56 6 speed transmission from a 2000 Camaro SS mounted into the car. I know the truck intake doesn't work with the stock hood, not to mention it's ugly as hell. I put a pilot bearing in the back of the crank before putting the motor and trans together before installing them. But from what I hear, I will need a balancer off of a manual vehicle. I also know the front accessory belt and pulleys are all different too from truck to car intake.
However, more importantly, I need a car intake, but I didn't know wheather to just buy an intake, and the injectors, throttle body, sensors, will all just swap over, or wheather I'm better off buying an intake that has all the stuff on it.
Also, what PCM stuff is recommended on a swap like this?
All things considered, the motor and trans are stock, and I just want to get the car together and running before I worry about tearing it down for cams, heads, and other upgrades.
Any help is much appreciated!!
Thanks

The ONLY difference between stock balancers is the offset or spacing for accessories, Closest to the engine is the Corvette balancer, followed by the Gen 4 F-body (others used this one too), and furthest out is the truck and Gen 5 F-body balancer. Holley's website has a great illustration on this. The LQ9 has the truck balancer. NO difference between manual/automatic.

I have a similar question, I have a 68 camaro with an lq4. Im having clearance issues, which headers/exhaust manifolds fit? some hit my power steering box and others like long tube headers hang low and cause me to bottom out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Keep the truck spacing accessories. Get a 98-02 LS1 (with spacers) or 2010 camaro LS3 water pump. Ue an LS1 or LS6 intake (cathedral port).
You can probably reuse the injectors, might have to remove the plastic tips and make a custom hold down and aftermarket rails.
Use the ecu, TB, MAF, etc and harness you got.
