If you happen to come around SA theres www.hpsalvage.com they deal with 4th gen f-bodys and new GTO's. They do ship out stuff and keep most parts indoors. Good luck, hope that helps

Manuels has tons of Fbody stuff, but they are usually expensive and won't let you pull it yourself (won't usually sell small items)

I like Tex-Mex. They have one on Sweetwater just south of West road (west and I45) and one at 249 and Antoine. They turn over their stuff pretty quick, but they will let go pick through the cars yourself and save some money.

I hate those guys, theyre ****** and they think anything they have is worth gold.

Does this other place ever have anything good in it?

I have generally been able to find anything I needed at Tex-Mex, but like I said, they crush their cars pretty often. I was out at the one off sweetwater a few weeks back and he had 4 4th gens. What parts are you looking for?

I've been to TexMex and they do have a ton of stuff. When I went in the actual yard though they didn't seem to have any engine parts. Looks like they take their motors out and sell outright to other people

Looked to me like they pull all the engines before sending the car out to the yard. Last time I was at the 249 location ,they had a LS1/4l60 pullout from an 01 Z28 sitting in the front area. The Sweetwater location has hundreds of engines sitting in a covered section off to the side.

Doubt you find a yard willing to sell an intake, most want to sell the engine complete. Just go dig around for the rest of your parts

Man I couldnt imagine what Manuels would sell an LS6 intake for. Or an engine for that matter, they would probably say that "its a Vette motor" line. I asked years ago about a bare LS1 block, and they said they had one that I could strip down and have for $1500........even at the time a new LS1 block was $700.
