If your going to do a swap go for a ls6 intake. Also the 6.0 injectors are not 42lbs, thats the marine 8.1's. 6.0s are 2X something

Yeah, it turns out the Marine 8.1L's are the ones I need...


I already have a truck style harness, so I figured that would be the easiest way to go. I figured buying a truck fuel rail with the injectors would save me some $ over buying a set for a LS1 type car which are typically $250 for a used set.

I'll keep on looking!


As for the guy who asked about the LS6 intake, please start your own thread. No hijacking!

truck fuel rail does not mount to the ls1 style intake, just buy a ls1 fuel rail and run ls1 injectors, cut the pigtails for the injectors and go buy some bosch pigtails at your parts store...if you are returnless fuel system any ls1 fbody fuel rail will work but if you are return style fuel system just buy a 97 corvette fuel ral that has the regulator on it..or you can be like what me a some other people have done and get some aftermarket fuel rails, AN fittings, steel braided lines, and a fuel pressure regulator(return style fi)

also atleast get ab ls6 manifold not the ls1, you will also need all the fbody crank pully, water pump, power steering pump, alternator, and all the bracketry to make the ls1 style intake fit, if your worried about money dont do it because it will cost alot unless you gotta buddy with a wrecked fbody like i did

Or you can make a idler relocations bracket and do a little clearancing on the stock bracket with a grinder, then you can use all your accessories.

I have all the F-body stuff with a FAST 90mm intake. The motor is a 408CI. I already have a GTO fuel rail, as I am using GTO fuel rail covers. I only bought the truck fuel rail because it came with the injectors.

Soon to be for sale on e-bay.
