Default LS6 coolant lines

I'm going to install an LS6 intake. It doesn't come with the coolant lines and plugs with it. Does anyone have the part numbers for the parts needed to do the swap.

Caution - when you put the plug(s) in do not overtighten - the threads are in aluminum and the bolt is not very long. You might want to use some thread-locker too.

I'm happy with my manufold on a bolt-on car but others have said it is not a cost effective mod.

I plan to do heads/cam eventually so i dont care...

I did notice some more power, however... ...maybe about 10hp or so...

When installing the lines and plugs
do you need four plugs and two lines??
The lines run at the front and at the back
and are seperate (no line under intake)
on a vehicle with a LS6
manifold stock from the factory right?
Thanks,
Dave

You will need 2 plugs and 1 line. The line goes in front of the manifold and the 2 plugs go behind it. It will look the same when the intake is on, but the difference is under the manifold. It doesnt snake all the way to the back.
