Series III intake swap on Series II

[Buick666]

I went to the local U-Pull scrap yard and i've spotted Series III intake manifold lying in a '05 Grand-Prix and they sell intake manifolds for like 15$ lol

 

So i would like to know if there's a way to fit the Series III Intake manifold in my Series II engine.

Would i need a tune after?? What would be the benefits of having this intake besides not cracking and leaking?

Iirc theres a lil bit of grinding(and possibly a tb adapter) but otherwise bolton. A big plus is you can port it

For the spacer,it wouldint be a problem,i'll have to find a Northstar TB at the same time and the U-Pull scrap yard (5$) haha

And what kind of grinding would i need for??

Mebbe a lil bit of clearance stuff.

Havent done it myself so i cant give you a how to

[Buick666]

It's all good man,i've checked a couple of 'how-to' on youtube.com and doesint look complicated to do.

15$ for an Series III intake manifold i've got nothing to loose anyway.

Another advantage is they can handle boost if you plan on a turbo. how much for the oil pan? I mite b interested.

The first two members over at Club GT that did the swap ran into so many problems that they both finally swapped back to the plastic intake.

One or both of the guys tried to tune them just to make them run like stock and finally gave up.

The biggest problem is that the neck of the series 3 intake is longer and completely different from the series 2 intake.

[Buick666]

Well this guy did it and ran great for a long time without any tuning whatsoever.

That changes every thing by all means give it a try.
