How hard is the swap on a 99 5.3, to remove and install a stock ls1 intake, is it worth buying the intake for 50 bucks.

General consensus is that the LS1 intake would be a down grade, but the LS6 intake would help out.
Search "LS6 intake" . There is a detailed thread about the swap.
Not worth it.

317s would kill your compression ratio.
thank for the help. the guy i went to see today just had some parts laying around so i thought i would ask. whats the difference between ls1 intakes and ls6 intakes, how would the ls1 intake be a down grade, i am just wondering.
He could mill them though...

what about an ls1 throttle body, worth even the effort to swap them out over stock.
Pretty sure it's the same size as your stock one.
