163 intake on ebay

[Keith Tedford]

I doublt that any LS6 owners would be fooled.

It probably DID come off of the LS-6 in his '70 chevelle; unfortunately the LS-6 was evidently a crate motor. Great high-rise (usually cheap) rectangle intake - just not for the restoration crowd.

For those of us who have little or no big block experience, what is the difference between this new version and a vintage piece?

Lynn,
The Winters foundry mark is in a different location.
Original intakes have the "W" on the #1 intake runner and the newer released intakes have the "W" on the #2 runner.
Both intakes use the same casting number.
An easy spot.

Lynn,

Another "easy spot" is the roughness of the casting skin
on the newer '163 intakes. The originals were smoother.

In response to the sellers comments, I hate arrogant liars.
No LS-6 came with a '163 intake from the factory. They
were into the lower rise intakes by then. Bite who?

Like Bigchevydaddy said: "the LS-6 was evidently a crate motor".
My LS-6 crate-motor came with the #163 intake.
