Default engine from p/u truck or from express van??

Hi guys,
sorry for the dumb question,
is a GenIII 6.0 engine from a express G3 van the same as the Gen III 6.0 engine from a pickup truck or SUV??..(assuming same year model)

is the intake manifold from the G3Van a pick up truck style manifold (taller than the passenger car ones)??..

any difference I may need to be aware of???.....

thanks

Pedro

The LQ4 6.0 was the same in all 3/4 ton chassis. The only difference would be if the motor was an LQ9 6.0 out of a high end SUV or Luxury PU. The LQ9 has flat top pistons for higher compression and more power. The truck intake manifold is much taller than the passenger car manifold.

yes, any engine from a van will be the same as from a truck.

Like everyone else said, truck and vans have the same engines.

Default Thanks for the posts

Guys,
Thank you for your posts.

I had my doubts regarding the intake manifold not being the same as the one used in the trucks.

Thanks again
