I measured it from the top of the motor to the top of the intake and you need 10 inches plus a tad to make it fit. Looks to be impossible to fit especially the back of the intake as our cowl will be the deciding factor.
Also talking to the guy at PRI he said it makes 25 more HP than the ls1 intake- I asked him twice about the ls1 and not the ls6 intake.

More information will be released soon, including dimensional data. The product is new and has not shipped yet. The information delivery will flow after the 2009 catalog is sent to print.

Soon. Yeah I know, you hear that all the time! Seriously, the castings that everyone has shown from SEMA and PRI are real and tolling is done. They're ready for production. First production is scheduled for mid January availability.
Dimensions are as follows:
A height (front of block to top of throttle body flange): 9.61"
B heigth (rear of block to top of plenum): 9.54"
C length (front of throttle body to rear of plenum): 20.11"

If anything you may need a thicker gasket as your spread (head to head) will be slightly wider. You could then do a gasket match on the intake and heads.

Just do the math...If there is roughly 8.6" from the valley cover to the the lowest point of the cowl that is centered over the intake, and the intake is 9.5", you will have an .9" to be dealt with. The only feasible way would be to do a .5" k-member drop as well and then hack off a .4" from the cowl and it'll fit very tightly. If you want to hack more of the cowl then .4-.6" then the wiper motor assemble will have to be removed completely. Most likely it is going to have to be torqued up a little as it is even with only .4" being trimmed away.

hmmm a fast is 1200 with TB... this is 500, +300 TB and 300 fuelrails?? ill propably still get one when i see a test that shows it to be noticably better than an ls6 on a well cammed engine with decent heads...
my combo is TEA stage 2 LS6 heads with 60cc chambers and a 226/232 .609/.604 111 LSA+2 cam, SW long tubes and dual 3 inch with x pipe in a 79 malibu.... what gains can i expect over a stock ls6 intake?? and will it cost torque lower in the range???
