LS6 Intake Swap

[mean05]

I just went with a aeromotive rail...but really on that a rail is a rail, they are all basically a big chunk of aluminum with a hole drilled in it lol, then the only thing you have to do is convert the stock fuel line over to a -an fitting which is about $20. I got a little drunk last night so didnt get the pics lmao....tonight i promise

I used a set of cheap Edelbrock rails on my LS2. Had to drill a couple new mounting holes through the rails and make mounting brackets out of a piece of aluminum angle. Worked out well.

How did you mount the idler pulley on the alternator side?

looking good under the hood!
looks like he used a longer bolt and a spacer for the idler red.

Yep, just replaced the bolt and some washers to space it where it needed to be.

Thanks...looks a lot better with this intake then any other i have ran!

So this will probably sound dumb, but with the aftermarket fuel rails you have to run an aftermarket pressure regulator as wel I'm assuming?

you dont have to but im not running a stock fuel system...i know of people using a vette fuel filter which also has a built in FPR...i have never used that setup so i cant exactly say what all is involved with that

[RedHeartbeat]

if you already have a returnless system then all you do is get fuel to the rails, no regulator needed. Makes for a very inexpensive setup, actually cheaper than a stock fuel rail for my LS2.

Yea but mine is a return system Greg, so I've got to find a way to do it
