sry ive tried searching and cant find a striaght answer, im going to be puttin a 4.8 or 5.3 in my 91 camaro, stock k member, stock everything lol will the ls1 stock manifolds fit without modding them? im swaping a stock 4.8 or 5.3 nothing crazy jus a good sounding cam and carbing it. thank you for you help.

 

98-02 Camaro/Firebird LS1 Manifolds will fit, truck manifolds will not fit.

 

the fbody manifolds are one of the 3 most common options that will work: 1. stock mani's (get some 01-02's for best flow) & custom y pipe. 2. hawk's/sw long tubes, custom y. 3. modify a set of 3rd gen sbc long tubes to line up with the gen III/IV exhaust ports.

 

If LS1 manifolds will fit a 4.8/5.3 and fit a truck LQ (and they do fit), then why truck manifolds fit the 4.8/5.3?

I know there is a height issue with hood clearance (but that can be handled by a new hood), but that has nothing to do with fitting on the block.

 

truck manifolds won't fit a thirdgen chassis....

 

How do you figure the CHASSIS into it? Hood I can understand, as I already mentioned, but the CHASSIS?

Besides...I've seen a 6.0 straight out of a truck into a 3rd gen, complete with pics, posted here on TGO.

EDIT: I see the "confusion" here. EXHAUST manifolds will not fit. Intake manifolds will. The OP only said "manifold" and "k-member". Intake yes, exhaust no.

 

the intake is too tall to fit a stock hood, exhaust manifolds dump into the firewall (not as easy a fix)

....and it looks like i posted right while you were. problem solved

 

I'm planning on put a stock 6.0 LQ under my hood, but I know I'll hafta change the exhaust manifolds out. The accessories MIGHT fit under my new hood too.

 

you guys make me laugh one guy is talking exhaust manifolds another intake manifold its funny as hell

 

I know that one member has a stock Truck motor with full accessories fitting under a Stock third gen hood with a BBC Hood Cowl on it. I think the standard width cowl hoods will end up being just slightly too narrow, but wider cowl hoods may fit the alternator under it.

 

BBC cowl hood? I'm curious - pics of this hood? You mention it being wider than a normal cowl hood....?

 

I'm guessing he means this hood, that fashioned after the '67 Vette 427 hood.
