LS Intake swap

[85toyo]

What kind of brackets are you guys using to swap an ls intake on to a 6.0?

You'll have to be more specific on which intake you wanna run.. truck intake, or ls1 intake ect...

My understanding (might be limited) is you need to run car accessories with ls1/car intake and truck accessories with truck intake because the pulley's are offset differently and waterpump ports are configured differently for each setup... there are aftermarket setups out there too... there are tons of different options which is probably why you're posting up.....

Truck brackets and turn the intake around backward

The truck motor is not an LS but thats what some people call it. Im going for a LS6 intake on a LQ4. I saw where you have to have a car water pump and differnt spacing on the pump and maybe the balancer.

Truck brackets and turn the intake around backward

This is probably what i will do but I wanted to here some other options before I do it.

From what I have read they flow better than an ls1 intake. I haven't looked into the ls3 much yet but I will before the final purchase is made.

cant run a ls3 intake on a lq4 unless you have l92 heads

this is true and instead of port and polishing my lq4 heads I decided to go with ls3 heads

 

[85toyo]

If you're getting new heads why not get the l92? They say those are the best flowing heads to put on a lq4.

ls3 l92 are the same round port flowing 330cfm on intake and 200cfm on exhaust where your ls6/ls1 are cathedral port

 

[crawlin85cj]

L92 heads flow great out of the box but seem lack low and mid range torque. I think you would be real happy with a set of LS2 heads and intake and they can be had real reasonable. Making 500hp that wont be overly radical isn't far fetched with a good cam and tuner.

Ls1 intakes other than looks aren't a upgrade. They will lose low and mid power compared to a truck intake due to the short intake runners. The ls6 intake is a good upgrade but they aren't anywhere near as easy to find and cost more
