Hi guys just picked up a LS3 and its currently missing it intake manifold. Based on the photo I've provided would ya'll be able to tell me what items are missing? Sorry I've been in imports my whole life and this is my first time messing with a domestic before.

Just looking at the picture provided, you're missing a valley cover, intake manifold, fuel rails and injectors.

Dude, you've got a long way to go from that pic. Do you have anyone close to you that's worked with LS motors before?

The valley cover what would be under the masking tape in the middle, topped off with the intake manifold and over it the fuel lines/rails going to the injectors...you have the injectors?. Also it does matter its layout some knowing if its from a vette or a truck or a camaro.... and one pic is not very wide..... and you will need the throttle body ours is drive by wire but there are lots of cable ones. Wanting to make something go? My tuner here at Wongs performance engineering in Vancouver has seen them shoe horned into many things and done them up good. I just hope in SOCAL your not buying someone else's nightmare from their Camaro theft....LOL You should look up some threads for engine pics......

Here is a pic of mine , I have yet to do the fuel rail flip changing how the fuel line feeds across the engine on top to the fuel rail but will some day I hope with a new intake.

I believe the one at the eBay link is for an L99 with AFM, so that wouldn't be necessary for your car. I would find the OEM part number on one of the many GM parts websites and find it for the cheapest price. Then the intake manifold, fuel rails and injectors can be found on eBay (LS3/L99 are L92 manifolds). Might even find some with the manifold, fuel rail, injectors and throttle body together. At that point I think you'll have a complete LS3.

Somewhere, there should be a casting number, perhaps a vin number as well. A dealership should be able to look up the original source of the motor and which version it is.
