do corvette intake manifolds fit L98?

may seem like a stupid question, but i thought i heard once before that the stock corvette manifold wont fit on camaro or firebird L98. was looking at getting this to port / polish until i can afford an Edelbrock Hi-flow manifold

If it's easier for you, I have an '87 TPI manifold left over from my Vortec swap. You can have it for $75 shipped. Just PM me if interested.

Vette fuel lines come in on the pass side not sure if the Fbodys are different. Youll have to do a whole lot of grinding to get a stock to do what the aftermarkets do out of the box.

Re: do corvette intake manifolds fit L98?

Your going to have to modify the EGR system if you have emissions inspections in your area. The vette pulled the exhaust through a tube on the passanger exhaust manifold instead of from the crossover in the head like the camaros.

Re: do corvette intake manifolds fit L98?

Emissions are disabled in his calibration, the vette intake has a second feed through the rh head so it would depend on the heads but it doesn't apply here.
