Default LS1 To LS6 swap today questions before i start

Going to swap intakes today have a couple of questions

my car is a 2000 z28 the intake is a 2002 z06 intake



I will be deleting the EGR have the block off plate for the exhaust, I will be cutting the fins off the bottom of the z06 intake

now will all my parts swap over to this intake or will I need to buy something?

I seen the PVC valve mod i'm not good with cutting my block so do i need to do any thing to keep my stock pcv valve?

other then the fuel line disconnect tool will any other specialty tools be needed?

You shouldn't run into any issues with the swap...That being said, I would ditch the LS1 coolant tubes and get the LS6 front only version. That's just me. I know people have trimmed the bottom of the intake and bent the lines to get them to fit, but the intake is just not designed for it.

Yeah I'm not a fan of cutting the ls6 find either, it's pure preference..

in case some one see this in the future

I completed the swap it was not complicated at all! I didnt buy the ls6 crossover I just removed the bottom fins on the ls6 intake (no problems) i did brake the Oil pressure sending unit tried not to but I did ($40 autozone) another thing to watch out for is the vacuum lines mine we brittle and soon as I moved them some cracked ($10 autozone)

I dont have long tube on as of now or a ported TB and can feel the car pull better from the butt dyno!

happy swapping!

Be prepared to break your oil pressure sending unit very fragile. I did 2 fast 102 intake swap on the fbodys and broke them both, it's almost inevitable. If so they will set you back 40-60 bucks and you will need the oil pressure sending until socket. They should have them at your local part store.
