i want to paint it silver but i cant afford to have the car not running for a couple days while i paint it. and getting another LS6 intake is too costly... unless you wanna find me one for free :grin2: :grin2:

looks good! buy an ls1 intake for like 4 bucks, slap it on, paint the ls6, then toss the ls1.

I'll let you borrow mine once I put the LS6 intake on. As long as you send it back, so I can use it on my next project. 8)
