Differences in Gen III truck intakes? Okay, I confess I've never looked at one. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
Was reading a car mag where they claimed the truck intakes were taller. Are they basically the same as the F & Y bod intakes?
Enlighten me, folks.

Re: Differences in Gen III truck intakes? truck intakes are completely different.
The new 8.1 intake is a trip.. got up turned TB.. like they ran out of room under the hood <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Differences in Gen III truck intakes? So basically all they share is the same bolt pattern? I need to get to the GM dealer and lift some hoods and look around, I guess. The local Chevy folks actually sell far more trucks than cars anyway. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Differences in Gen III truck intakes? I would like to know if this is correct too. I saw the same info in CHEVY HIGH PERFORMANCE Mag. It indicates the 5.3, 6.0 truck intakes should be a direct bolt on to an LS1, except they are 3-4" taller.
It seems to me if they are a higher profile then the runners are longer. That sounds to me like a potential for torque gains over the LS1 manifold.
Anyone???

I can shift faster than you.

Re: Differences in Gen III truck intakes? Yes, the 5.3/6.0l intake will physically bolt up to the cylinder heads. However, it will not fit under the cowl of the hood on a f-body.

Re: Differences in Gen III truck intakes? The 5.3 intake will bolt up to an run on a F-body.. but like said above they do not clear the cowl or the hood. (I know someone who tried) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
