A new LS6 intake manifold should come with the replacement gaskets. The 98-00 Coolant pipe runs down the center of the engine under the concave part of the ls1 intake. Since the LS6 is flat, there is no place for the coolant pipe. So, like the 01+ the rear holes get a plug in each of them, and the new coolant pipe just connects the front holes. Oh, you may want a Oil Pressure Sending Unit on hand for when you brake it LOL, just make sure you unplug EVERYTHING off the back of the intake before you go tugging at it.

If you want install instructions here www.ls1howto.com

When you order - from one our great sponsors - make sure that it comes with the rear block off plates and the front replacement pipe.

Where can you get the gaskets, coolant lines, and plugs if you bought one used?
Thanks

Gaskets are "built in" to the intake. I would ASSUME that you can buy the lines and plugs from Thunder Racing - but not sure. Call them, I'm sure they'll hook you up on Monday.
