Yeah, lt1 would need a custom fabbed intake. That's too severe of an angle to try and make work with the air box. L86 intake it is for me then lol

I don't think there's a lot of power to be had with it   I only say that because I have an l86 and all I want is an lt1 or msd intake

The AFE intake will work with the LT1 or MSD manifold since you can swivel the tube on the box. I had to cut the end of mine off and use a new coupler but it worked fine other than that.

Does anyone have a l86 intake manifold and throttle body for sale?

 

You can get both from pace performance for under $250

Correct me if I am wrong, but I just went on 2 GM parts lookup sites and it lists the same intake manifold for both L83 and L86

 

EDIT - Don't trust those I guess. Pace Performance lists 12639087 and those lookup websites say they do fit the 6.2 Silverado. Retarded.

 

I looked up a 2017 Silverado LT 5.3 and got these part numbers:

Intake - 12623417

Throttle body - 12617792

 

I looked up a 2017 Silverado LTZ 6.2 and got these part numbers:

Intake - 12623417

Throttle body - 12620263

 

Only the TB lists differently. Just to be sure I looked up the same on a 2014 as well. If they are the same I hope nobody is wasting their money on swaps...

They are different, I just did the swap yesterday. The L83 has an 80mm tb and the L86 uses 87mm tb. The opening on intake is clearly bigger.

How were your results?

Seems to pull harder up top and throttle response seems better. I still need to get it retuned also.

Would the engine even account for the swap without tuning? The ECU controls a/f, so without accounting for the ability to use more air and in-turn fuel, would the engine operate as normal? Or would the computer realize it has more air availble and adjust itself over time? I assumed no gain would be noticed, but dyno results prove a CAI with no tune can help or hurt gains. I know it was a popular mod to put LS7 TBs on gen III-IV's but most people were tuning for it. Curious to see your results if you can get it on a dyno for a baseline and tuned pull.

It should see the additional air and adjust for its pre-programmed fuel trims so in theory you should see some difference in it. Tuning will of course net the best results.

Do you guys know if a L86 throttle body would fit on a L83/L84 intake manifold?

Im plan on doing both, but just wan the question answered.

No the l86 is 87 mm the l83 Tb is 80 mm so it won’t fit on a l83 intake manifold.

Im talking about bolting up. Ive seen where a 102mm will replace a 92mm for LS3.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
