 ===== Naturally-Aspirated Intake Manifolds =====
-==== L36 Front-Wheel Drive ====
+==== L36 and L26 Front-Wheel Drive ====
+L36 and L26 engines both received the same lower intake manifold, however the upper intake manifold/plenum is slightly different between them.
+Below is an image of the lower intake for both of these:

+L36 engines were equipped with plastic upper intake manifolds that were black in color.

+The L26 engines were equipped with an aluminum intake manifold that was silver.

+These intake manifolds had a separate piece inside the manifold that extended the intake runners into the roof of the plenum to help increase the amount of low-end torque the engines would produce.

+These can be replaced with an aftermarket insert which tends to trade low-end torque for top-end horsepower by shortening the intake runners.
 ==== L36 F-body ====
+L36's in f-body's were equipped with an intake where the throttle body was located on the front of the motor to help these engines fit better into the f-body.

+In 1999 f-body's received a slightly revised intake manifold for the drive by wire throttle body. In these intake manifolds, the thottle body opening is not turned down anymore like the earlier manifolds.
+This can be seen in this image of a 99+ f-body L36:

+The f-body intake has shorter runners than the front-wheel drive vehicles so it would seem to favor top-end power slightly better than the front-wheel drive manifolds would from the factory.
 ==== L36 Holden ====
-==== L26 Front-Wheel Drive ====
+L36's Holden cars were equipped with an intake manifold that was faced sideways.
