There is only one Q-jet intake available and it was only made for two years, 1985-'86. It is found in light duty pickups/vans (the 1985 Astro van had this intake; passenger cars came standard with TBI fuel injection). It's a heavy cast iron dual plane piece, has EGR and a heat crossover. It works OK for mild builds.

Edelbrock makes two square bore four barrel intakes for the Chevy V6 90 degree engines:
 +
*p/n 2114 for vortec heads
 +
*p/n 2111 for non vortec heads

GM makes several intakes as well:

*p/n 10134390 (above) is a square bore (although has both bolt patterns), high rise, has no EGR, made for use with a 390 CFM Holley although other carbs will work. Suitable for high performance street/strip use.
 +
*p/n 10051125 is the base for the raised runner cross ram intake, race only unless the engine is very healthy (below left).
 +
**p/n 10051126 is the 'upper cover' for the base. It will mount a squarebore or 4500 carb; carb flange is undrilled (below center).
 +
**p/n 10134327 is an airflow deflector used with the raised runner cross ram intake (below right).

There is only one production factory Q-jet intake available and it was only made for two years, 1985-'86. It is found in light duty pickups/vans. It's a heavy cast iron dual plane piece, has EGR and a heat crossover. It works OK for mild builds.

Passenger cars (B and G-platform) and trucks/vans manufactured after the 1986 model year (including 1988-94 S-series trucks) came with TBI intakes.

===Marine intakes===
 
There are several marine intakes, both for the Rochester 2G-type 2-barrel and the Q-jet spreadbore and Carter squarebore (uses an adaptor) 4-barrel carbs, all cast iron. In fact the only aluminum intake for the V6 Chevy 90º is a 2-barrel single plane(!) piece that was used for several years on the 200 and 229 cid engines. Not a performance-oriented part, it has a bolt pattern for the Dualjet (basically the front half of a Q-jet), which means no other carbs will fit it and there are no adaptors, either.

Marine intakes have either the traditional 12-bolt pattern (200/229 and pre-1996 4.3L) or the 8-bolt Vortec pattern for 1996-present. The angle of the center intake mounting holes changed during 1987 to 72 degrees, same as the SBC.
