Hey everyone. I just bought an LS6 intake and I want to keep the stock cooling tubes on my engine. What I wanted to know was if anyone had a picture or could show me the pattern of tabs that you need to grind off on the bottom of the intake to clear the cooling tubes. Thanks a lot.

ive seen this question asked before and never seen a pic of what you are looking for, plus i think it would be hard to get it right even if you did have a pic

its gonna probably take a couple of different tries for you to get all the correct ones ground off. my suggestion is to take your manifold off, put some light grease or assemble lube or something on the coolant pipes and then lightly set the manifold back on then lift it off & see where the pipes run. yeah its redneck but it worked for me

I ground every last one of mine off until it was smooth and it worked perfectly...5,000 miles later and no problems!

I have asked that same question. Or if anyone has a template of it. I was planning on making a template of mine once I get to it. many next month.

There are a few Pictures that have been posted, just have to get the right search and threads to find them.
