Default ls2 intake on ls1

I've been wanting to do the same. Vette intakes have been by wire for some time and I believe those have been adapted to use on fbodies. Do the ls2's use 90mm tb's?

LS2's use the 90mm throttle body and you will need to fab something up for the cable. However if you are N/A I wouldn't suggest using an LS2 intake. Go with a LS6. The LS2 is nice in FI setups but not the N/A ones.

From eveything I've read, the LS2's flow no better than the LS6's.

If you run a LS2 intake you will need a cable type TB. Street & Performance sells a throddle cable bracket for the LS2 intake.

no the l92 heads are off the 07 escalade, theyre based on the ls7 heads but run a fatter intake runner. so the ls2 and 7 intakes dont match up, so you have to use the l76 intake off the holden which uses the same tb as the ls2. the heads run about 850 completely assembled from gm and the intake including 39lb injectors tb fuel rail is about 500 bux but it has to be converted to work on and ls1 cable style throttle

Call S&P. Maybe they have something for your setup. They seem to be right on top of things like that.

Most people run the standard 90mm TB (NW, PTM, UMI) on the L76 intakes I believe. This way you only need a bracket.

Ditto. This is where you want to look for your cable/fly by wire conversion.
