LS6 intake missing vacuum ports
Hi need some help from you guys.
I just bought this used LS6 intake, which are like hens teeth in the UK.
As you can see it's missing the ports that are usually on the back for the vacuum lines and now has a plate on it (I think the intake was used on a Mosler).
My question is, when I take the LS1 intake out of my z28, will I be able to swap these ports back onto the LS6? I have no idea how they fit on though and I don't want to take the manifold off my car now unless I know I can fit this one on.
Thanks guys.

I think you'll have to use the fitting on your LS1 intake and do some creative plastic welding on your LS6. Or tap a different multi vacuum port to the back. I'm not sure if you'll be able to remove the epoxy without destroying the hole. Good luck.

Cheers.
So does anyone know, are these rear ports actually molded as part of the intake, or are they are sperate bit that can be taken off with ease?
I ask, as I don't know if my one has been cut or how to maybe take the ones off my LS1 intake.

The rear ports are on a separate round plastic piece with an o-ring and locking tabs on the inside, fits very tight/snug into the manifold... not easily removed from the manifold, and not separately obtainable.
