Port Matched Lower Intake
Donor Lower Intake

Sourcing my donor piece was another trip to the salvage yards.   As I understand, the lower intakes are the same across all the Series II L36 v6 engines (the only difference might be in the stove pipe on it).   It's common for me to see L36 engines in this yard where someone already removed the upper intake (which is a bulk of the task getting the lower intake out).   I pulled my donor piece from a '99 Buick (I don't recall what model Buick).

  

  


As you see, the lower intake I brought home was a mess!   You'll notice in the last page, I have it so clean you could eat off of it.   I did this by soaking it in a tub with paint thinner in it.   I scrubbed it using a variety of cheap brushes, mostly from the local dollar store (these are brushes like small wire brush, nylon bristle dish and a toothbrush).   It took a while, but did the job!
