If the truck one will fit keep it.

They flow almost the same and you won't notice the gains. Most the truck guys quit doing the swap because of this.

Any of the LS6 intakes will work (F-Body, Corvette, GTO). You will simply need to use a 75/78mm cable throttle body from/for a cable operated vehicle (ie; Camaro, Firebird, GTO, some trucks, etc).

For a 5.3L, I would use the LS1 intakes, which can be purchased for $50 or less.
