Check the stickies over in the gen 3 internal section, they should have everything you need. From my understanding (never done one before lol), new gaskets, ported oil pump, and I know I'm missing other stuff. I just can't think of the rest right now.

you dont need a ported oil pump, but i recommend getting the gaskets so you dont have to take the intake off and do it again. im buying mine tomorrow from a member and probably doing the install next weekend or something.

Rember this LS1 and LS6 are pretty much the same motor. So most of the parts are interchangable if not all of them. Only real diffrence is cylinder heads camshaft and a few other thigs. I saw a ls1~ls6 conversion kit on Summitracing.com for 2,000 i t had rockers cam cylinderheaders and other random parts i dont rember lol.

I think I have everything except exhaust and intake seals. Could someone link me to the right parts because it's hard to look up stuff on an iPhone LOL
