Default Help with LS6 intake swap in Va

My coolant pipe kit arrived today for my LS6 intake, so i'm about ready to do the swap. I'm looking for someone who has experience with this mod to help me. I live in Newport News, Va. I'd be willing to travel within the area, so if anyone is interested in helping me, shoot me a pm. I'd like to do this on Wednesday, sometime between noon and 1 pm. Thanks!

It's so easy bud, you don't need anyone to help. Just be sure to take off the brake booster line so you don't snag the Oil pressure sender. Take your time and all will be ok..

Im in stafford va, but by the time you got here you could of changed it like 4 or 5 times. If you really want help let me know, but honestly it was my first mod I did on my ss and it only took me maybe 2 hours because I never touched an ls1 before that.

Ok, I have this tuesday, 7/10 off and would like to do it then. Anytime during the day is fine for me, morning, afternoon, evening. I can come to you, or i'll pay for your gas to get to my place, and i'll supply the tools. I just need someone's expertise. If anyone is interested in giving me a hand, send me a pm or leave a message on my cell 757-813-0763. Thanks!

These last 2 bolts in the back are a total bitch. Any advice for the right side one?

OK, we got all the bolts and I think we got evrything disconnected from the back, but the manifold is getting hung up on something. Is there anyone that can stop by for a few and just help us along?

double check all vac hoses, fuel lines and wiring to make sure EVERYTHING is disconnected.... that vac hose can be sneeky sometimes.
