Heads for the 454 have CNC-processed combustion chambers as well, finalized at 70cc. Valve sizes are the same as the production LS7: 2.20-inch intakes, 1.61-inch exhausts.

LSX single-plane intake manifold was originally developed for the standard deck LS7. Note blank bungs for nitrous oxide and injector nozzles. A larger plenum intake (DR) for hard-core drag racing is also available.

Big mouth intake is for standard deck CT cylinder head.

A very streetable LSX 376 dual-plane intake accommodates that engine. A single plenum design is also available.

Though developed for a composite EFI intake manifold, the 376 will more than likely adopt a carburetor and intake manifold.
