im gunna be swapping out my ls1 intake finally for my ls6 i've had sitting around for 2 months now, but i was wondering where all you guys got your coolant cross over lines and plugs from. the only place i can find them is texas speed and the cheapest shipping they offer is $20 :eek2: .... any other choices out there?

I used a hammer and chisel. Worked like a charm.

WS6store.com has them as well but I am not sure about their shipping cost.

call them and ask for regular mail shipping, should be like 5.00 bucks or go to gm, hacking a ls6 manifold for a 20.00 part? I would not do it, but a few have.

ws6store has them for $45 like stated above.
I think they have free shipping too. Don't quote me on that though.

What exactly are you looking for.. a Front Cross-over Line, and Plugs for the back?

the stock ls1 lines will hit the ls6 intake manifolds bottom because tis FLAT not CURVED like the LS1 is.
whats wrong with grinding off the ribs? They dont do shit really, and lets not try the "strength" card for the intake either. anyone using an ls6 probably wont have enough of a motor to bust the intake because you cut off some rinky dink plastic veins.

Is this just LS6 specific.. the L76 Intake clears the Lines. :)
