just keep in mind that the brake booster hose is going to try and break the oil pressure sending unit, so you want to make sure you lift the intake and check for anything snagging when you pull it forward.

If you can, go ahead and buy the Oil pressure sending unit, just in case, then if you dont need it take it back.

Try a search. 136 posts you have to know how to use it.

Like said above, be careful of the oil pressure sending unit. I did my ls1 to ls6 swap in under 2 hours by myself. Clothes pins work great for the last few bolts.

When removing or installing the intake the back 4 bolts have to stay in the intake, you can not get them in or out when the back part of the intake is under the fire wall. So you pull them up and hold them half way with something so you can slide the intake forward or backwards. I usually just wrap masking tape around them.

I did mine awhile back and did NOT break oil pressure sending unit thanks to all the guys that went before me and their posts and insight on the subject. Its pretty easy but do but do your research.Many,many pictures on here document the process-check them out and you will do fine!Good Luck

Default ls6

hey if you have problems gitting the fuel line disconnected you can unbolt the 4 bolts holding down the fuel rail and flip it over on the finder out of the way. make sure to cover your fender. also you wont have any fuel leakage because you never disconected the fuel line. i've done a ls1 to ls6, ls6 to bbk and a few others and this worked real good plus i hate gas every where. hope this helps.
