Default LS1 intake on LS6

ok, I've read about changing the coolant tubes and such when putting an LS6 manifold on an older LS1 car. Does anyone know of any necessary modifications(other than EGR) to put the LS1 manifold on an LS6? I'm asking because I know a guy about to trade off his 02 and I think I have him talked into swapping manifolds with my 00 before he takes it in

Thats it, EGR and collant tubes. You'll have to edit the egr out of your computer.

I am guessing the holes for the bolts that hold the egr in place are there? If they are it just the EGR and 2 plugs and 1 crossover pipe.

To put the ls1 intake on the car with the ls6 intake you can just plug the egr hole with a rubber freeze plug. as for the other stuff not sure

finding a corvette LS1 intake, makes for a good "replacement" for a LS6 intake in those situations, visually, cannot tell the difference until you look at part numbers with the intake installed.

I didn't get my LS6 that way, but i know others who have, on cars that were traded in.

That suuuuuucks for whoever buys the trade in.

I guess if they notice it they can make the dealer pay to replace it with an LS6.

Yeah, I would be PISSED if I bought an 02 only to find out someone swiped the LS6 intake off of it I wouldn't do it, but that's me.

That's easy to say when you already have one. People don't always mod their cars ya know and chances are the new owner will never miss it. Its not like these things are all that slow with an LS1, I have a timeslip or two to prove that

Thanks for the info guys!
