Did you ever figure out what spacers you need? I am putting an LS1 intake on my 5.3 and have the same issue. injectors need to be extended out 3/4". I found some FAST spacers that are labelled as being for LS3/LS7 spacers and they do not fit onto my injectors, ls1 intake or into the stock ls1 fuel rail.
I really appreciate your detailed reply. Hopefully one day I'll have the experience to help out on the LS forum![Popcorn](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/popcorn.gif)
It's interesting. I've read over and over how that LS6 will increase the hp by 10-15. Any idea why it wouldn't make much difference on this engine?
I just went onto eBay, and found the adapters. They are $60-70. Seems like maybe that could be a good down payment on a polished TB from S&P, or a better TB (of course I don't know what that would be...I'm so green about LS).
I found these injector spacers on eBay, and he indicate he does have LQ4 spacers. I presume LQ4 spacers is what I need. Correct?
Maybe I'd be better off getting a complete intake, with all the other stuff.
BTW...you're the second person to reference a $30 LS1 intake...but every one I've seen on eBay for an LS1 has ended up at over $100. There are two on there now for under $100, but bidding has just started. One there with TB, Injectors, and rail for $300.
