Default ls6 install

Its pretty straight forward, I think you can find it on ls1howto.com

...but you have to get a different crossover pipe for the front and plugs to block off the rear coolant passages on the heads or you can grind the fins down on the bottom of the intake.

Get rid of your EGR somehow, and be careful not to destroy the oil pressure sensor that is right near the vacuum line at the back of the manifold that goes to the brake booster

Good luck and try a search for pics etc.

Coolant pipes and plugs should be all you really need. Gaskets are reuseable and all the vacuum lines, etc should all bolt up. If your car has EGR you can plumb it back in or delete it. Let me know if you have any other questions and we'll get you fixed up!

I would also like more insight on this. I've been using the search option to no avail. I came across a how to video, but it's no longer available. Can someone assist with part#s to the coolant pipes & plugs mentioned above?
