I found a shaved for steam ports ls6 intake which I believe will fit my 2005 LM7. The guy wants 200 is this a good deal and will be a good fit for my lm7?

 

You will get better, more complete info to questions like that on ls1tech.com.

Don't get all hung up on buying every part you see on craigslist, just yet. Formulate a plan, and work straight toward it without deviation. Otherwise you end up with a clutter of crap you can't even remember what it all is and none of it fits together, and a COMPLETELY empty bank account.

LS6 intakes are PLENTIFUL. It's not like you HAVE TO jump on "this" one RIGHT THIS INSTANT for any particular reason. Plus, you will find that the minor variations in LSx engine parts, can make for some … interesting … puzzles to solve. (don't forget the ancient curse, "may you live in interesting times") If you end up with a LM7, PUT IT IN YOUR CAR, AS-IS, and get it COMPLETELY working, running, driving, RIGHT, FIRST. You can do stuff like swapping intakes later. And, you will find, the Dorman replacement truck intake, is FAR better than almost any of the stock intakes for cars; with the added benefit, it fits your throttle body, all the sensors are in the right places, and so on. In fact over on ls1tech somebody with more time than I ever have put up a whole long post of intake flow comparisons you can look at.

As I've said before, STOP POSTING all this crap about what you see for sale on craigslist. It's NOT TIME for that yet. It's just crap on craigslist, not a "plan". You need to slow down, take a deep breath, and do some RESEARCH. Which starts with READING and STUDYING all the stuff that's already been said about these matters, NOT asking questions that display a total lack of basic knowledge. LEARN. Just like you don't walk into a college and get a degree by sitting in class and asking random questions EVEN BEFORE learning the basics of the subject matter. This hobby - or any endeavor in which the mind plays an important part - ISN'T like that. You need to sit down, SHUT UP, and LISTEN. (read) NOT post, NOT ask questions, NOT "should I run right out tonight and buy this gewgaw or that playpretty off craigslist", NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT. I recommend therefore, that if you decide that a LSx swap such as a LM7 is your path to greatness, that you spend time on ls1tech and performancetrucks.net. WITHOUT EVER REGISTERING; so that you won't even be TEMPTED to ask questions. Just READ and STUDY and LEARN.

The advantage to a "pullout" is that you get EVERYTHING. Throttle body, coils, wiring , ECM, injectors, EVERYTHING. You get to SEE what all is laying there BEFORE you lay out the long green. READ, STUDY, and LEARN what to look for so that when you have finally amassed the cash to put it into effect, you will KNOW WITH CERTAINTY what you're looking at, you can be assured that everything you want is present, and you won't have to post a million questions about it all. READ, STUDY, LEARN. Quit posting.

 

In the meantime, just drive your car, and enjoy it. Learn how to take care of it. Learn what's robust and what tears up easy. Learn how much other stuff there is to a CAR besides swapping its engine. Learn. Learn. Learn. How many times can I say that word?

While you're at it, buy some tools, and get good at using them.

 

They do get listed for sale for more than that, so you're good on price. Do your homework and make sure it's an '01 LS1 / LS6 intake.
Also, there's usually not overall gains to be had over a truck intake. YMMV. Good luck.

 

Thanks to all. I'm going to cool it read and learn. Just watch I'm not going to post any more stuff until I'm ready and in my build. Thanks to all please don't mute me I do appreciate you all

 

Yes, that is a good deal for that intake which is indeed an LS6. If you plan to LS your 3rd gen then I would not hesitate to buy that intake.

 

I feel personally attacked!

 

It does hit a little close to home, doesn't it? I know what most of it is, and where it goes, I just don't remember where I've hidden half of it, what I've sold, what I've already bought, etc.

 

LMAO, it is SPOT on for me, except it's probably more like 80% I don't know where the parts are anymore. I know what they all do though.

Sometimes when I am looking for one part I will find stuff I didn't even know I had. I found a few of those this past weekend.

 

Personally I would go with a Dorman LS2 intake/90mmTB over a LS1 or LS6 intake.

 

Under 6k i prefer the truck intakes they make good torque.
