AMEN SIR! Can't express how right you are! I get so tired of people smack talking something that someone else likes. I have the same intake on my 68 Camaro. Not a car show goes by that someone says something snarky about SOMETHING I've done that they don't like. I'm always trying to tell them, it's my car and I like to drive it.

[scmiata]

Spoken like a true gentlemen its what you like !!!!

[scmiata]

Thank you for the info !!! Doing a LS swap in a Miata, just waiting for the same manifold to get here, Great work mate !!!

[kennethgray]

GREAT CONVERSATION!!!
Please keep posting!!!

I appreciate the anti-drama that makes this channel different (in a good way) from so many others.

[ibraHemi]

You’re a very smart man! Btw a good spec’ed cam + proper gearing. This intake will look good and your car will move GOOD too, regardless of what intake you have! 👌🏻👌🏻 subscribing !

Looks killer, love the 6.0L badges! I saw the teaser vid you put out the other day and was waiting for this.

[ScottTheEng]

Totally agree with your take on the intake. The original intakes on these truck LS motors look terrible. I am currently trying to figure out what to do on my LQ4, and it’s a minefield of consequences. If you go with the doorman LS2 it will cause you to redo your accessory drives belt setup! Still haven’t decided this. Currently putting 799 heads and a new cam on to get more performance and a nice sound. Thanks again for your perspective on this!

[HemiDartGT]

Well said, looks are very important also....

[brianriggs]

I have one of these on my 408 stroker lq4 and it's very tinny sounding. The top panel not having any kind of structure it reverbs a bunch. I can put my hand on it and the noise goes away. Deff looks better but noise sucks when hood is open

[toddjones]

Won’t make as much power as stock but look nice… they seem to be loud though… for your application it will be fine

[TexSail]

Hey great vid. Coincidentally I have a ‘55 Belair that I wanna put an LS2 into. Which ECU setup did you use for your ‘55 truck???

[GrandPitoVic]

EXACTLY!!!! I am doing my first swap. Ls3/6L90E in a 03'Crown Vic Police Interceptor. It's a project with my grandkids. I don't care what other people think. I don't need a thousand horse. I want it ro look cool and run good. I've rebuilt this engine. I don't want a 5.3L with a turbo like everyone is running. I want a N/A that my wife can drive and not be difficult for her to drive. I put a BTR Ls3 Stage 2 V2 cam in it. If I can get 400ish to the wheels that's great. It had a 239 horse engine from the factory. So what 190 to 200 at the wheels and she would still move a bit. With this much horse and way more torque then it had at the wheels, this thing should be a riot. Burnouts and ice cream with the wife and grandkids and also some car shows. My next Vic will have a 5.0L. Good deal.

I had a similar issue with the vacuum plugs, except my kit didnt come with any at all. Seems the forgot to put them in the box. Was wondering if you might be able to throw in a link to the plugs that you ended using for yours? Thanks for doing these videos, Ive used them a lot while doing different things on my 59' Apache.

[garthkey]

So that intake is Rec port. What about cathedral port heads?

[travisnunya]

I'm looking at hogan intake manifold billet and my buddy says go with a carbon fiber intake he says carbon fiber is better what is your opinion on this I don't have a clue so hogans billet intake manifold OR carbon fiber intake manifold

[toddjones]

And loc-tite the throttle blade screws…

[DWBmotorsports]

It would make way more power with a truck intake. And they’re free. 😂
