That intake doesn't fit Gen V engines.

I know it doesnt.... Because if it did i would have had one already lol

so would a 6.2 throttle body directly bolt on to a 5.3 intake ?

what would better a after market throttle body or a 6.2 throttle body?

From my understanding you would need to swap the intake manifold to run the 6.2 throttle body.

that's what I thought,

Yes the 5.3 manifold must be swapped for the 6.2 to use the 6.2 throttle body.

Yah gen V LT1s on the corvette. Doesnt list the 5.3 as compatible.

Sorry for the double post but i found this on PT.net

 

These guys are taking LT1 corvette intakes and putting them on our trucks. Seem to need little modification to work but seems to net some gains

I installed the 6.2 truck manifold and throttle body on my 5.3 truck and tuned... slight bump in power.

Think thats what im going to end up doing. The LT1 intake takes some modding to get it to work and i dont feel that confident in myself to do it to a truck that im making payments on lol
