Default Trailblazer SS Intake Manifold??

Can the trailblazer ss have a different intake manifold put on? Even if the firewall has to be cut?

Its a truck intake so to run a car intake you would have some clearance issues with the front accessories and most would need to be changed to car type. If the motor is staying in a TBSS the stock intake is probably the best thing for it 99% of the time. It is an ugly *** intake though!

an l76/ls3 intake would fit perfectly with some l92 heads.

Are you sure that car intake will fit with the TBSS front accessories? I don't know. Everybody that I know of with l92s on a TBSS used an l92 truck intake. Not saying it wouldn't work just have not seen it.

So if you put a fast intake manifold on there it probably wouldn't be worth the work for the power gains?

go to performancetrucks.net and look for the conversions. they are pretty easy and allow you to keep your accessories. i was going to do an fast intake on a truck and ended up selling it.

We've swapped a couple L76 and fast intakes on TBSS's. They fit no problem. Only required relocating the idler pulley and cutting off a small peice of the bracket which is very simple with a spacer and longer bolt into the drivers side accessory bracket. Then just a different length belt.

Takes me about an hour total to do.

I'm also Having Trouble putting a different Intake on...I bought an LS2 Corvette intake to swap the TBSS Style intake...But the injectors dont go as far down on the Vette intake as they do on the TBSS intake. And The Fuel Rail Does Not Want 2 Bolt Down...Can Anyone Help Me??? I think the Corvette Bolts are different to bolt th intake down...Does anyone have a pic os what they look like???
I have some pics of my intake Swap.

You are going to need the fuel rail setup from the corvette as well as the intake hardware.

I'm doing an L92 heads/intake conversion on mine soon. The L92 truck intake has shown to go really high on #s.

I will have the stock TBSS intake manifold up for sale after the swap.

Google LS2 Portworks. Lloyd has done a lot of manifolds for the guys on another forum. Cost is fairly inexpensive for the return in HP as well.

PM sent to OP.
