Default LS6 intake swap, found this.

Okay, so was doing my ls6 intake swap today, and it is not as easy as people say....well learning as I go so 'if' i have to do another one should be easier. But I got big hands and arms so its not easy at all to get to the back but thats another story...

Anyways, when I got the intake out, was looking over stuff back there and noticed this:




Now im not sure if that was like that before I started or happened afterwards, but its going to need to be fixed.

Now I believe its the PCV line or what ever, I know its for vacuum, but where do I get a new one at? .... and what is it called so I know what im looking for.


Thanks
Jeremy

There's a link in this thread to repairing what you have (replacing that Y) and it also talks about rigging another way up really quickly if you need it fixed before replacement pieces get to you.

I have to go to napa tomorrow to get some other stuff, so hopefully I can get what I need there.

I think I may try this y....CRB 2638...from napa, see if I can get that to work.

Why don't you guys just buy $15.00 worth of 3/8" heater hose (or new vacuum hose) and cut the pieces to fit. You can find a Y fitting to use for $2.00 at the auto parts stores to use with the new 3/8" hose.

I just used I think 2ft of 3/8 fuel hose from napa, and a 3/8 vaccumm T Connector.

I set it up like this, and actually didnt work to bad. There was a short piece I had to cut off to use on a part that went over a port comming off the head on the passenger side too.

Also, there is a picture of the ribs I trimmed on the ls6 intake to get it to fit. Fit perfectly, just messy grinding it down.

Wouldn't it be better to go with an LS6 valley cover instead of the extraneous plumbing...?

Actually I have the LS6 valley cover already....I was just talking about using 3/8" heater hose and buying a generic Y fitting.
