I'm in the middle of an Ls6 swap and i'm looking for the pic that shows where to grind down the bottom ribs for clearance over the stock ls1 coolant lines.

Does anyone have a link to that pic?

TIA...

i have been told using a chisel is easier. i don't know from experience but it is somethign else to look in to.

thats what I did, it took me 5 minst o chisel ALL of te ribs off. using a dremel trying to see what all you do have to remove takes to long in my opinion

I was going to dremel until I saw your post about hammer/chisel. Did that and it worked great.

I would jsut bust if off with a sander that would take all of 1-2min and I would use 100grit

a wood chisel works best but any chisel will work i just knocked off all the ribs.That way i knew it would fit lol

I probably should've stuck around a few more minutes to read up on the chisel recommendations. I ended up dremeling it with a grinding bit and cutting wheel...took about ~40 min.

In retrospect...a chisel probably would've made it a better experience. Nothing quite like hot manifold slag flying all over your arms and face while grinding away.
