Will this intake manifold work?

I'm told it is part number 12552138 but i'm having trouble finding it listed. What year did this come off of, and will it work for my 94?

If that info is correct, it's from a 94-96 Buick w/ an LT1, so yes, it should work.

so I guess it flows and bolts up the same as the ones found on camaro/firebirds? I wonder why they have a different part number because that's what leads me to believe that there is something different about it that won't make it work the same.

I live kinda close to whitewater. Actually I live closer to town center mall, and I love my GMMG. wouldn't trade it for anything.

Re: Will this intake manifold work?

There may be a few minor differences, but the basic port, flow, and throttle body hookup is the same, so you could definitely bolt it up. You might want to research and make sure any wiring/vacuum connections are in the same spot or you'll have to do a little work. I don't have enough info to say for sure that everything is located in exactly the same spot, but it will certainly bolt down and get the job done.

Re: Will this intake manifold work?

Hmm...there doesn't really seem to be a lot of info on these things. Need to find someone who has used this intake I guess

Re: Will this intake manifold work?

Why are you wanting to use that one anyway? I always thought f-body LT1 intake manifolds were cheap and easy to come by...

I found other references to it being a L99 part and this one seems to point at it being either f-body or b-body LT1 but also says the L99 is 11.8:1 which it isn't.

I will say it is a MAF LT1 intake of which there are a handful of MINORLY differing castings none of those differences will hinder you using it.

because it has already been powdercoated the color I want
as long as it won't rob me of any power, all the hookups go on the same way, and it bolts right up, i'll be happy with it.

I am putting together another LT1 and wanted something that looks better than my nasty looking stock one, and I don't know of any places close by that do powdercoating.

The ports are different. The port on that intake is LARGER than the LT1 and shaped different b/c the iron heads intake runners are shaped different then the aluminum version. I wouldnt use it unless you get the LT1 heads port matched.

Re: Will this intake manifold work?

Look at the NHRA specs for "Pontiac".... they list that manifold as one they will accept on the 285HP 350ci 10.5CR engine.

Re: Will this intake manifold work?

well why pontiac and not the chevys...actually weren't they rated from the factory at 275hp back in 1994?
basically it seems as though the intake will not work. I've already had the heads ported and don't really want to have them worked again just so the ports will match up with an intake.

Re: Will this intake manifold work?

Do you have a set of intake gaskets? Hold them up to the heads and intake bet it fits fairly well. People make WAY too much over the minor differences among these cars.
