Hey. I got a 5.3 truck engine and I hear the intake is good for 750HP. Only problem is it is super ugly. The stock cover doesn't help much. Any alternatives??

If you are asking for different manifolds, I believe FAST makes a truck variant of the LSX 102.

Or a good ole ls6 intake, it's hard to beat

Truck intake is better than LS6.

The truck FAST is better than any of the car FASTs.

But the ls6 is prettier!!! That's what he wants lol

Do a search for "smoothed intakes"

If done right, they look cooler than LS1/6 intake.

Yes I'm looking to keep a truck style intake but make it less ugly somehow. Also I can't afford anything from Fast right now. Lol

Here's some relevant questions that'll help us give you a more accurate answer:

Is this a truck engine using truck accessory drives on the front of the engine?

OR:

Is this a car engine using car accessory drives on the front of the engine?

AND:

What vehicle is this engine going into?

Your answers will determine which intake you need.

I have a truck engine with truck accessories going in an 89 T/A with a ram air hood. Should clear easy.
I think I might just paint up the engine cover and get some coil covers...
Easy breezy beautiful.

OK. I would suggest you check out the conversions section and post questions about this over there.

And make yourself a signature that states what car you have.
