You'll need this for the coolant tube. http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/cate...MID=1&catid=12
Gaskets you can get at the dealership, carquest, i think napa too.
You'll also need to get a block off plate for the egr, unless you already removed it.

Is there any negative side affects with just blocking off the back coolant openings? I here a lot about heat issues on the #7 and #8 cylinders.

^ I kept my LS1 tubes and just smoothed the bottom of the LS6 intake, fit perfect
