Once I get the part number I guess I can call chevy or gm and see it matches to a LS6 manifold but I heard that when u flipped it the bottom was different but I dnt recall exactly what was it

Ls2 is 90mm, Ls6 is 78mm....easy to tell apart.

What you really need to watch out for is Ls1 vs. ls6. the Ls6 has a flat bottom

^^^ Yes, it looks to be ^^^

The LS1 intake has a hump on the bottom side, the LS6 is flat as the picture shown. Both LS1 and LS6 intakes have the 78mm throttle body opening, and the LS2 has a 90mm opening. As said before, research the intake part number before you purchase so you know exactly for sure its an LS6 piece. The part number should be easy to find.
