no. cathedral's (ls1) will not work with square (l92/ls3).

someone correct me if i'm wrong but i thought all ls1's came with cathedral ports. ls3's l92 etc had square ports and ls7 had a different square port which was not compatable with ls3 or l92 or ls1/ls2. if you have a square port intake it probably is not off an ls1.

5.3's all had/have cathedral ports, so if you have a passenger car LS1 or LS6 intake manifold it will work just fine. It sounds like you have the right intake by the description.
