Intake question for LQ9 I have an LQ9 6.0 from a 2002 escalade. I'm doing a restomod on my 67 camaro. I want to put a car style intake on the motor. Once i get it running for a while, I'll pull the motor to upgrade the cam, heads, etc. Is there anything specific I need to look for on an intake, or will a standard LS1 intake bolt right on?
Thanks

The ls1 intake will bolt right up, however I'd look for an ls6 or fast if you can find a cheap one. You said you'd be upgrading heads and cam later on, so the ls1 intake would be replaced later more than likely anyway.
I'm running an 02 LQ9 with an LS1 intake. Bolts right up, but you'll need the car injectors and rail. The LQ9 is running the LS1 cam, so you wont lose much over the LS6 intake if you leave it stock. My plan was to upgrade heads, cam etc too, but very happy with the stock setup.
When I got my LS1 intake, they were available everywhere cheap (bought 2 under $40 each with rails gaskets, bolts), now they're going for almost as much as an LS6 intake. So with your upgrade plans, find a used LS6 or a new Dorman LS6 intake.
