I bought a "LS6" intake on ebay. The bottom of the intake is flat. However, it is recessed from where the bottom of the surface that mates with the heads-forms a u-shaped tunnel about 3/8" (or so) deep channel. The part# is 12573572, which is a discontinued number that several dealers have told me they cannot trace back. As far as I know, LS6 intake numbers all begin with "888".

I have never seen an LS6 intake to know exactly what the bottom looks like. I wish I could post a pic that shows what mine looks like, but I don't have that capability.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

I thought the LS1 intake had a curved bottom and the LS6 was flat. Can somebody confirm this?

That's the part number on my LS6 intake. I think this is the # used at the beginning of the year when there was a part number change and a long backorder in December.

 

Thanks guys for your help. The picture is exactly what I have and the part# confirmation is reassuring. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

This is a happy ending to a transaction that has been a nightmare from the start. First I have Wells Fargo send the guy a check on 6/10 because he doesn't have Paypal and it never gets there. Then he opens up a Paypal account and I stop payment on the check and transfer him the money on 6/22. He snivels about the fact that Paypal won't let him instantly withdraw the money but says he will ship ASAP. On 7/14 I call him and ask who he shipped with and what was the tracking number. He says he shipped on 7/12 with USPS and there is no way to trace it, but it should arrive on 7/16 <img border="0" alt="[fight]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" />

On 7/22 it arrives and has a 7/12 postmark. I looked at the bottom of the intake and see that it's flat except for the ridges and think alls well that ends well <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

On 7/26 as I get ready to install I see the 12573572 part# which was different from the 2002 ZO6 888...39# he claimed it was. Now I'm thinking I've been had and when I called him he said he swears it was from a ZO6. He didn't want to take it back in spite of the fact that I only paid $315 including shipping and offered to hand deliver it next week when I go to LA <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

Never in my life have I done a deal with this much hassle and I know he feels the same way <img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" />
