Got an LSXR intake free... now what?
Well, managed to stumble across a free FAST LSX-R intake from an acquaintance whom until that point I had no clue worked in the aftermarket automotive industry...
Anyway, looking to put this into my rcsb Silvy atop an lq9 with 241 heads. I was planning on going to ls3 heads and a Holley Hi-ram this year, but now gonna try the LSX-R instead. Was trying a bit to keep under hood look mostly stock and low key, but that's gone out the door with a bright red intake!
So, what do I need to do to get this car intake on?
Looking at a Nick Williams 102 cable tb.
Also maybe the Dirty Dingo idler relocation bracket...? Any others recommended?
Do I need to drill any ports in the intake for sensors on my '01?
What should I do for fuel on my '01 return style?
I have 8.1 marine injectors...
Oh and what do I do with coolant crossover? Is there a lower one available for sale out there...?
Also, should I use this as an excuse to get a Meziere 300 street series EWP? Will it work with dirty dingo brackets? And also already have a Katech truck belt tensioner...
What else is required for the Meziere? Do I need new hoses? Does it come with thermostat? Looking at purchasing from SDPC.
Maybe lightly considering an ATI damper too, but should I still get one for truck application, or vette or f body...?
Oh and here's a quick photo of the intake.
Any help or tips/links are MUCH appreciated! Thanks.

Haha well now you've got me wondering as well! Gotta take a look when I get home... but even better if it is gen IV since I wanted an excuse to get new heads anyway! Like I mentioned, I had planned on the Holley Hiram and some LS3 heads this year when this intake fell in my lap and changed plans.

Why do you guys keep saying that intake only works with the rectangle port heads....? They make three versions of the LSXR and one version of the LSXRT.
OP, check the part number of the manifold to be sure what it fits. It could be for the cathedral port heads, LS3/L92, or LS7.
