Yes you will need the coolant line. The LS6 only has one in the front. And plugs (2) on the back. The LS1 intake has an x / h pipe that connects all 4 together. Call the Chevy dealer, or I can send you the P/N's Monday...I have them on my PC at work.

You don't need gaskets. You do need coolant lines or plugs. Just put it on, *****!

Talk to Thunder Racing. I bought mine through them last year. I got the coolant pipes and block offs at the same time.
