Part Identification

[mylittleblackbird]

Hi everyone. I'm new here. I'm looking for a part. I am pretty sure it comes from the a version of the Commodore, but I don't know. Probably a few other V6's as well, but I'm in the research stage. I am trying to find this intake manifold, and the pieces that go on top of it. I believe they come on the 3800 series 3 / GM L36. Whatever way you want to slice it. I would like to know more about it. Thanks in advance!

seems to be our standard intake manifold from around 1995/1996 till ~2004.

what else do you need to know about it?

What is the engine designation, so that I may research it and read more about it? My primary interest is in the naturally aspirated 3.8L with even port spacing on the intake and exhaust ports, if that makes any sense. Dyno sheets, specifications, that sort of thing regarding performance of the engine. I'm thinking it is called an ecotec, or maybe it's an alloytec? Is that what you are referring to? Or do I have this all mixed up?

I'm pretty sure it is L36.

over here it is 'known' as the Ecotec.

they are around 140-150kw at the flywheel. don't have a lot of torque down low in the rev range.

That sounds to be what I'm looking for. Thank you!
