Default LS6 valley plate question.

OK, my car is listed below in the signature. It has the LS6 block from the factory. My question is this, did the LS6 block camaros automatically receive the LS6 valley plate? Also, how do I know if I have an LS6 valley plate on my car?

The ls6 valley plate will have a PCV nipple in the front of it. It sticks out to the passenger side under the throttle body.

LS6 valley plate -- the one that matters -- wasn't introduced until 2004. Further, it's the PCV system that is the difference, not the LS6 itself. Thus, if one has a LS6 block from the factory, they have only that -- the block (and the intake manifold that every LS1 got in 2001-'04).

No you don't have it unless someone installed it after the fact.

You just don't have to grind the block to get it to fit. Yay for you.

Grinding the block is no big deal. Took me less than 10 minutes and only used 1 cutoff wheel on my dremel

I checked today and it's the stock/standard LS1 valley plate. Guess I'll upgrade that when I get a FAST intake and do some head work.

That's the easy part, hard part is keeping the debris from getting down inside the engine lol

True, I just layed some towels all around it and used a vacuum and a wet rag to wipe up the aluminum dust
