No it will not. Your 4.8 has cathedral port heads where the 823's are rectangle port. Different head design.

Any intake with a rectangle port runner. L92 truck intake, LY6 intake, L76/LS3 car style intake, FAST, Holley, ect. Lots of options

You can do that but I would stick with the rec port. What is the casting number on the 4.8L heads?

the heads on the 4.8 are casting number 799. what difference would it make using the 823 vs the 799 off the 4.8?
