LS6 Intake Manifold Installation So as per everyone here on LS1 Tech's suggestion i went ahead and bought a new Z06 LS6 Intake Manifold, now im wondering what kind of a pain its going to be to install, and what kind of gaskets im going to need? Any suggestions to simplify installation for me? What am i up against?

I just did mine yesterday. i watched TheBlueKnights videos like 3 times before i did it, lol. Then I just went at it. i had the intake out in under an hour. The last 4 intake bolts were being a PITA but it wasn't too bad. Be careful with the Oil Pressure Sending Unit though! And I mean that. I broke mine even after knowing it could break and tried to be really careful and I still broke it. You can buy a gasket kit from just about any autoparts store. But yeah, watch BlueKnight's videos and check out the other How-to as well for a little more reference and you'll be fine. It looks like a big job but it really isn't. I put in some Hooker LT's and the Intake over the weekend all by myself with no problems (other than breaking my sending unit). Goodluck!

It's really easy I could probably do one in less than hour and a half. Just make sure you have the coolant crossover pipes, or you take the fins of your LS6, watch the oil unit too.
