karl kustoms ls364

The GM LS364/450 engine is a budget-friendly engine that gives your earlier LS-powered vehicle more power. It’s very versatile, which is a quality that attracts many hot rod builders and enthusiasts. You can read more about this engine here on our blog or over on the Fuel Curve website here.

This engine is a long-block assembly without some parts like the ignition system or the intake manifold. This gives you an opportunity to install the components you want.

If you’re looking for the ideal intake manifold for your GM LS364/450 engine, we can help with that. Adam took the time to show us three popular intakes for this engine:



Here are the intakes featured in the video:

1. Holley Intake and Holley Sniper System

Holley Sniper intake manifolds are high-quality budget parts. The Sniper is a fuel delivery system on top of the intake manifold. We offer Holley Sniper EFI self-tuning master kits that include all the parts you need to plumb your fuel system. Though as of this writing in April 2021, the intake manifolds are on national backorder.

2. Holley Hi-Ram Intake Manifold

If you have a hot rod, you want a Holley Hi-Ram intake manifold. It gives the engine a beefy, custom look. It can be fitted with an Edelbrock throttle body. It bolts right onto the LS3 intake with the rectangle port heads.

If you want to use this intake manifold, you need to make sure that you have enough hood clearance. We’ll be happy to send you measurements if you need to make sure it will fit in your hot rod.

3. OEM GM Intake Manifold

If you don’t need big performance gains, you can’t go wrong with an OEM GM intake manifold. It is compact, so you shouldn’t have any clearance issues. With an OEM intake manifold, your engine will look like a standard LS3 engine, and it will function just right.
