Default Foxbody LS6 intake question....
I have done an hour of research and have not come up with anything, so that is my cutoff lol. Does an LS6 intake fit under a stock foxbody hood. Plain and simple answers only. I have a TeamZ cross member. Thanks

LS6 intake isn't any taller than the coils on the valve covers, so unless your whole engine is sticking out of the hood, it'll fit.

I figured I would share the measurements in case anyone else had that same question as I did.

I have three intakes here. Edelbrock pro-flo xt, lq4 truck, and an LS6
Name: image_3.jpeg Views: 2514 Size: 125.3 KB
The edelbrock measures 10"
Name: image_2.jpeg Views: 2538 Size: 141.4 KB
The truck can be as high as 11.5" but if trimmed could potentially be lower than the edelbrock.

And lastly the question I originally had for this thread. The LS6 intake is 6.25" tall

Actually the LS6 intake is higher than the coils. I didn't take an exact measurement but I would venture to say at least 1"-2".
