Default ls intake

hey guys,

im prety new to the ls engines, if thats wat im supost to call them. but i have a older style truck (92 gmc) and i think i can get a 5.3 pretty cheap from a rebuilder here in town. now my question is, does anybody make a intake that will bolt up to the ls heads and i can run a tbi or a carb? i was thinkin that this might be a decent lil swap for just a play truck.

any inputs would be appreciated.


and by the way my daily driver is a
03 chevy 1500 z71
poweraide tbi spacer
airaid intake
wheatly tune
305 bfgs

always wantin more power!

if you want more power dont take a new style motor and put old technology on it. make the complete swap theres a couple on here i think.

you need a turnkey engine. meaning motor with complete harness, pcm, bcm, fusebox. and a manual of your truck for the current dash wiring, so you can splice into it instead of running all aftermarket gauges

I beleive you need a new bellhousing, but if it were me, I would find a 4l60e/5.3 combo so that the new ecu can run it all.
