163 intake on ebay

[69L72RS]

Check out the rereleased intake being auctioned as an original COPO/LS6 intake.

I remember buying one a few years ago from White Allen for under $200. Has anyone bought one lately. Aren't these intake still on some GM HO crate engine?

Yes, I agree. Got some bad-a$$ orange overspray on that
intake - huh?

Sellers description:

ALUMINUM LS-6 G.M. COPO INTAKE, G.M.#3933163, CAME OFF MY
70 CHEVELLE LS-6 MOTOR. GREAT CONDITION, NO STRIPPED
THREADS OR CRACKS. YOU WILL LOVE THIS INTAKE. NO DISAPPOINTMENTS.

a) It didn't come stock on your 1970 LS-6 motor. The seller
wisely omits that tid-bit.

b) NO DISAPPOINTMENTS! Yeah, unless some poor unknowing
bidder wins it and later finds out it is the new version
of the '163 intake.

c) A slight triviality. This hi-rise intake didn't come
on the LS-6's anyway.

Buyers beware.......

I just bought one of the newer 163 intakes off eBay to have as a nice new GM spare. 175.00 in new condition.

Steve,
The seller sent this first reply, and states that it was off of a car that he knows the full history of. What a bunch of BS.
His replies kept getting more vulgar and threatening and I had to turn them in to Ebay.

This message was sent while the listing was active.
2stevemoney is the seller.



sorry, get out your chevy by the numbers. this intake came off a 70 chevelle ls-6 454 motor, i knew the complete history of the car and motor. this is not a re-pop, so bite me.

I wonder if he will get any bids at all.
I hate it when people mislabel items on purpose looking for suckers to buy them.

I doublt that any LS6 owners would be fooled.

It probably DID come off of the LS-6 in his '70 chevelle; unfortunately the LS-6 was evidently a crate motor. Great high-rise (usually cheap) rectangle intake - just not for the restoration crowd.

For those of us who have little or no big block experience, what is the difference between this new version and a vintage piece?

Lynn,
The Winters foundry mark is in a different location.
Original intakes have the "W" on the #1 intake runner and the newer released intakes have the "W" on the #2 runner.
Both intakes use the same casting number.
An easy spot.

Lynn,

Another "easy spot" is the roughness of the casting skin
on the newer '163 intakes. The originals were smoother.

In response to the sellers comments, I hate arrogant liars.
No LS-6 came with a '163 intake from the factory. They
were into the lower rise intakes by then. Bite who?

Like Bigchevydaddy said: "the LS-6 was evidently a crate motor".
My LS-6 crate-motor came with the #163 intake.
