yes.

FYI, all truck manifolds are the same, 4.8, 5.3, and 6.0

It'll fit the motor but it won't fit under a passenger car cowl.

What do you mean passenger car cowl? The hood wouldnt close? I apologize if this is a stupid question and does it flow better than the ls6 manifolds? Thanks for the response

It won't fit under the hood and no it doesn't out flow the LS6 but it does put down some solid torque numbers. I saw a comparison on an LQ9 and they said a stock LQ9 intake was so close to the LS6 on the dyno that it wasn't worth the money to swap it out.

yea, they were within a few hp/tq of each other..but if you are planning on dropping it into an f-body, it wont fit.
