Default LS6 Intake on a 6.0 Escalade?

What mods are needed other than the intake itself? Is it just a swap with gaskets, or more (coolant lines, etc)?

You need a lot more than just the intake. You will have clearance problems with your belt and pullies, as well as probably needing to change the water pump. And there are quite a few other issues I can't think of right now.

you would need the injectors and other stuff that goes on the LS6, and then you would need an LS1/2 water pump

you will have to convert to the f-body accessories..and you will need ls1 style fuel injectors and the clips..i dont know what year they went to returnless fuel system but if you are return style fuel system you will have to have an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator unless you can find a 97 vette fuel rails that are return style fuel system..search my name over on performancetrucks.net i did an ls1 intake and f-body accessory swap on my 2000 truck i used nasty performance fuel rails with a mallory fuel pressure regulator, AN fittings and steel braided lines..but if you dont plan on going over 6000-6200 rpm it aint worth it unless you want it for looks
