why are you buying a LS6 intake? according to your sig, your 99 already has one and your 02 came with one from the factory.

I'd sleeve it with a piece of that thin-wall brass tubing you see at any hobby shop, and epoxy the 3 pieces together.

use some jb weld, you know how it says people have repaired cracked blocks with them?

i litterally filled a cracked coolant port in an aluminum 4cylinder block with some on my old drift motor, it held up for a year to my knowledge i sold the engine to get an ls1 and its still holding up lol

Either JB-Weld or Devcon steel putty is what I would use. There are all sorts of good epoxies out there. You can look on Devcon's website and they have several epoxies that will work great, just find the correct one.

Instead of fixing it, pull your intake, take that whole piece out (as you can see, it's separate from the intake) and put your stock one in the new intake.
