Default stock lq4 intake replacment

I am wanting remove the stock truck intake, so it will fit under the hood of a 69 camaro. What is the best intake to go with. Will the LS3 intake fit on the stock 317 heads. I plan on changing the heads down the road to the ls3.

ls3 intakes are setup for rectangle port heads. Your 317s are cathedral port.

an ls1/ls6 or any of the FAST cathedral port intakes will work.

if you plan to go rectangle port in the future.. I'd get a cheap ls1 takeoff for now and run it as is..

the ls3 intake outflows the ls6 intake, and with the rectangle port ls3 heads.. you'll be doing well.

You also have to change the water pump. The ls intakes won't clear the truck pump.
