I need install help for my LS6. Pics inside Alright, here is the situation. I have a 2000 camaro, and we removed the ls1 manifold and put on a ls6 off of a 2002 trans am. you can see in the pics below my red manifold compared to my buddy's 2001 manifold. our problem is where that bracket bolts to the manifold. on his, he has one, on mine, i don't. just seeing what you guys that have switched to an ls6 for an ls1 did, or if anyone knows what to do. thanks in advance.

P.S. sorry about the large pics, but it was the best way to show what i mean.

Well i believe it did come off of a vette. I'm the one installing it, I can make a bracket to make it work and mount in the same location as it does on the stock colored ls6 in that picture. He just said it came off of a Trans am so im seeing if osmeone has some way of doing it.

Just take the bolts off of your LS1 intake that holds the bracket on, find some hard plastic hollow tubing of some sort to use as a spacer block, cut the tubing to the width of the factory spacer block that is molded into your LS1 intake. Drill 2 holes where the spacer block should be on the LS6 intake. Put the 2 bolts throught the bracket, then put your spacers on, put the bolts through the holes that you drilled on the LS6 intake and then put a washer and a nut on both bolts.
