Prices for LS1 intakes are going through the roof as well. Probably because people like me stack them up in the corner Currently have one under my computer desk with my feet kicked up on it.

I don't think it's a terrible price considering the current going rate for the parts individually. I'm just not used to paying that price!

you should just sell me your foot rest then

225 isn't bad at all, I would pick it up, if its complete like pictured its a deal, even if shipping is 40 bucks. Gotta factor in, bare intake 80-140, TB 65, sensors on TB are 100-140 for both new, fuel rail I picked one up for 40, but probably more like 65-100, injectors used set 75-100, not sure what new set of injectors cost. Just add it up. Seems to me that is not a bad deal, however I would change out the block off plate, cause that one is fugly lol.


I just sold a bare LS1 intake for 125 picked up not even 2 weeks ago.

Well its an LS1 intake with throttle body, fuel rails and injectors.. Not just the intake

[MeenZ28]

Concidering how many people upgrade to FAST intakes you'd think the stock LS1 intakes would be everywhere for next to nothing. Weird.

I'm not very knowledgeable on ls1 parts, but I do stroll craigslist quite a bit. That seems kind of high, I have seen a few a while back around $150.

[Jdseibe]

$250 obo and hes outta state so I would need it shipped

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Price?

[Jdseibe]

Is it worth buying?

Standard 98-00 f-body LS1 intake with the EGR port blocked. Can't tell you injector flow as 98 had 28.6 and 99-00 had 26.4

I'm trying to buy this ls1 intake from a guy on online.. Can you guys take a look at the pics and tell me if anything jumps out at you.

So I met with the machine shop today, these guys really seem to know what they are doing. gave me some pretty good advice.. the deal hasn't been completely set in stone, but the owner told me that I should milk the deal for what its worth haha.. so not sure what the extent of that is yet. so I am rebuilding their site basically from ground up and in return are going to exchange for work on my engine.

The head machinist suggested since I am not doing a crazy high performance race engine to basically stick with the 862 heads (unless i can get decent 243/799 CHEAP), they would do a full degrease and rebuild on them.. the only milling he suggested was if the gasket surface needed it.. valve job and then said a good set of springs for the added lift would be a good start.

he then suggested replacing the pistons.. and If I am going to do that.. might as well bore the cylinders out a bit and go a little bigger on the pistons.

now I'm not sure how much of this they plan on covering cost wise.. and how much I'll have to pay for yet.. still have to work out the final details.. but If I can get my engine done up for as cheap as possible.. I'm not gonna complain haha!

what do you guys think?

[Gregs_gsxr]

I will know by sunday if I have an extra set of clean flat top pistons that will work great for your 5.3.

You can go up to .030 or so without really affecting intake mounting, people have gone more.

What really comes into play is pushrod length, especially with an aftermarket cam. Make sure to get a pushrod length tool before ordering pushrods...found out the hard way that calculated required length doesn't always come close to actual required length.

if you mill way too much off then yes youll affect intake, but theres some error allowed
