Default y8 intake manifold on z6

has anyone here swapped a d16y8 intake manifold onto a d16z6? i have a bare y8 intake manifold and i put it on my z6 head and first thing i noticed/problem i ran into is the iac valve didnt fit and it looks like the fuel rail is'nt going to either. anyone know how to do this cause i know it can be done. thanx....

all the y8 manifold does is shift the powerband to higher RPMs...its essentially a waste of time. Stick with the z6

powerband in the higher rpms? Who wants that?

You will have to change out your sensor's cause you will get false code's etc etc. Personally drew, I would stick with the Z6 intake manifold, The y8 intake mani is a turd on acceleration.

Pretty much, Just change out the sensors. The intake manifold will bolt right up since it's still in the D-series Family. Use your Z6 throttle body though so you can keep that sensor.
