Coolant line under intake. Does anyone know if there is a way to fashion some kind of bypass or something for the coolant line that runs under the intake on an LS1? I am installing a Fast 90 and having clearance issues so it has to come out, but I don't want to spend the $75 to by one from TSP or Ebay. Thanks for any help.

Its not, do not grind the bottom of your fast intake,,,,,, He is talking about an LS6 intake swap. What you need to do is buy the LS6 coolant tube setup. what it does is connects the two front ports together and eliminates the rear ports, using GM specific plugs. unfortunately its another hidden cost of the fast swap. When I did mine I had to do the swap. If you want to be cheap, I belive you could buy the rear plugs, which I believe are about 3 dollars apiece and modify your front tube by cutting the portion off that runs to the rear, and just plugging it. Personally I would swap and get the LS6 coolant tubes and not worry about it.

We have them here:
http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...vid=3&pcid=177
20-12602540 GM Coolant Plug - Used when converting from LS1 style intake to LS6 or LSX style intake. (2 required)
20-12602544 GM Coolant Crossover Pipe - Used when converting from LS1 style intake to LS6 or LSX style intake.
This will duplicate the setup on LS6 cars. You do not need the coolant seals with the new style plugs and crossover tubes we carry.
Thanks,
Shane
