Question LS6 intake swap...cheapest place to get coolant pipes and plugs?

I have the intake itself already and was just curious where the cheapest place/sponsor to get the other necessary pieces for the LS1 to LS6 intake swap and if there was another way around even using them with some minor fabrication or creative engineering?
Doing away with EGR so I'm not worried about that part.
Thanks in advance.

If you want to be creative and save money try this: take your exsisting front coolant pipe and cut away the middle (leaving the part which branches off to the throttle body). Take the 2 halfs you have left and use a brake line flaring tool to make a single flare on the ends you cut. Now take a length of heater hose to join the pipes back together (with some clamps to secure the hose on both ends). I posted this a while back with pictures too. Just buy some plugs for the back 2...easiest and cheapest.

Good luck!

I got the 3 parts at my local dealership for under $34.00. They gave me the msrp price, and asked if they would sell them wholesale (they sold me an interior trim part that way before), and saved some $$$.
