Default intake question!

ok this might sound stupid. but will a fast lsx intake work on an LQ9 with 317 heads?

and would the stock injectors from my 98 z be enough to keep the lq9 going?
im leaving the lq9 motor stock except for swapping intake manifolds and adding full exhaust

The LQ9 317 heads are like any other Gen III head. It will bolt right up.

If your using the truck accessories you have to mod the alt. bracket and move an idler pulley.
