ls6 intake manifold?
i have 5.3 motor and was wondering if i could swap the truck manifold with any of the ls6 manifolds like the fast lsx, or factory 5.7-6.0 manifolds? didnt know if there would be any port matching issues with the 5.3 heads or if they would be a direct bolt on with the 5.3. any help would be great

You will have to change the waterpump to the L92, relocate the idler pulley and trim the alt/ps pump bracket. Also depending on injectors you might have to space them. .............You gotta want it!

I think there is a little bit to be gained with the LS6 intake. I think that for the cost of the swap though I'd just get one of the new style truck intakes which flow better and use a bigger throttle body.

Absolutely! The key is the intended rpm range, unlike a passenger car that needs upper rpms. The LS6 is definately better then the truck intake, but the truck intake is better then the LS1. The LS6 will shine on upper rpms (+4000rpms), not what a (street) truck needs.
