2004 lq4 intake manifold

I have an 04 lq4 to throw in my 76 stingray and for the life of me, I cannot find any ls1,2, or 6 car I take manifolds

Has anyone used one of these?

And if I'm understanding correctly, I can use the truck Injectors if I take the plastic tips off and get a after market fuel rail? Any fuel rail? Or a truck one?

I just did a search on Google. Seems like many are available on Ebay or other places. Not cheap like they used to be.
Maybe another thought is swap the LQ4 heads to L92 heads and run an LS3 intake?

I'm guessing this is for hood clearance? Because the ugly LQ4 manifold does outflow the car manifolds.

Just trying to get this running for now, that would throw me further down the $$ hole lol. Plans for later, but for now, just need it to fit.

How far is the factory truck intake from clearing the hood? I made mine fit in my '71 Camaro swap with a 2" cowl induction hood

I shaved, smoothed and painted it

I did a LS6 swap into a 71 C3. I think where you are going to run into trouble hood wise is at the front of the intake and throttle body with the hood using the truck intake.
