Hi mate dont suppose you have the part number for the intake and the fuel rails- also where you picked them up from.

Is this the same as the LS1 or different

( I have an LS1)
Thnx

I sure do have the number for the black one its 71403. the only difference between the ls1 and ls2 models is the throttle body flange and they have better clearance for the injectors.

i got the intake from Richard at West Coast Cylinder Heads. He was very helpful and he has the intake and rails in stock. He even shiped out the intake the same day i ordered

Wow, nice job. I was thinking about going with that intake, but I don't feel like going through the work to make it fit. I'm just gonna run the victor jr instead and this one will go in my buddy's ls1 mustang we're building. Here's a pic from yesterday when I was just trying to mock it up and see how much I would have to remove. Also, do you know if the edelbrock throttle bodies are special for this intake? I lined up a nick williams with this intake and the mounting holes didn't match up.

well they have already removed a lot off the top compared to the ls1. i am sure you could but i don think it will be enough to help, if i need more room for the thorttle body i am going to space the k-member

The throttle body i order is for this intake, but any throttle body should fit. i test fitted a ls2 drive by wire t/b andit fits fine. The intake does have muilt. bolt holes for different t/b just have to find witch one that works.
Keep in mind this is the ls2 version, so the ls1 t/b wont fit one i have.

I know there's mulitiple holes, but mine didn't line up for some reason. 2 holes on any one side will line up perfect, but then the other two on the opposite side won't. I figured my NW 90mm throttle body would bolt up regardless of what intake. We're going to go ahead and order an edelbrock one anyway

Oh, you know what else I just noticed....the one I have isn't machined for throttle body gasket like yours is...I wonder if maybe I have one of the first production ones that could possible be from a bad batch or something. I'll need to bust out the tape measure for this and do a little research

Subscribing. Good job man, can't wait to see more on this. I knew we'd have someone to buck the system and try it on an Fbody regardless of what everyone said about fitment. It looks like you almost got a new place to mount a dash compass to, lol. That thing is tall! Can't wait to hear more feedback.

i dont know yet, i havnt put the harness in yet. i test fited stock ls1 injectors cuz i know some people was haing problems with the injectors. with the edelbrock rails they fit prefect. I dont have anymore updated pics but now i have the throttle body on and i had to cut some more out of the hood. only problem now is that the hood is pretty much resting on the throttle body. I am going to put spacers on the k-member to space it out about 1/2 inch.

I thought this was going to be a dyno test. It looks good though. Nice to see something different besides FAST/LS6/etc. I know Exotic Performance Plus was running a sale on this last week. They have both the intake and the fuel rail numbers in their thread in the Sponsor sales section.

I can't wait to see results on this bad boy but I really want to see a comparo at some point on one of these.
