What intake is this?? Pics inside

Well the pictures of the motor had an intake that looked like the LS6 intake however the runners were not rounded but fatter like the ones in the intake pictured here. By the look of the ports I would also say that it would fit C5R heads. From what I remember I thought the guy wanted a motor that looked and almost sounded stock but had nice power.
Possible...however...if you look at the TB mount at the inlet...it has a 4 bolt pattern. The LS2 90 mm TB will bolt directly to this intake in the pics. I doubt they had that info back then.

I agree with WILWAXU,looks like CR-5 STUFF TO ME wide and not as tall of ports as ls-1 heads .I seen somebody stated that the 2006??Corvette will have a 427 motor, also read GM is thinking of putting it in the GTO too!GM may put the GEN-3 motors in some other cars such as Grand Prix and similar chassis, I hope GM comes out with something that deserves such a capable engine,I saw a GTO at the dealer the other day could not look more RICIER to me !!

I can only hope GM is doing good things. I've owned a lot of cars and a awhile ago I realized ALL of them were GM. These are cars I wanted, I didn't care abouts brands or whatnot.
BTW Did anyone else notice the truck intake in chevy hi-performance (lame I know) that made more top end HP than the LSX?
It looks like a tunnel ram style intake and is supposedly is 4 inches installed height higher than the LS6/LS1 intake.

That intake is a LS7, for the big cubic inch corvette that will be coming out in a few years. Nice manifold and makes good power. When I worked at Katech we were doing the initial tests on that manifold. If you think the manifold is nice wait till you guy's see the heads it bolts on to. They are going to be a cross between the current heads and the C5R heads. I have flowed a few sets and they have all flowed right around 370cfm. Can't wait till they come out!!

any ideas on runner volume???
and/or why gm seems to be going back to "rectangle" style ports???

) In the LS series engines, would the heads be interchangable? When they come out could I bolt a set onto my LS1?

I've been wanting to get a stroker built for my SS but I'm assuming that all this LS7 stuff may be worth the wait.
A production 427 should be much cheaper than a C5R block or even a Darton resleeve. Now I'm hoping it will fit in the Camaro and headers wont be a problem.

Did the heads use a traditional 2 valve design, or did they have 3 valves like much of the speculation suggests?
