No modifications needed at all. Just replace the back valley cover bolt with the provided button head bolt and you will be fine. Should seat and fit like stock. Just installed mine about a month ago.

Be careful of the oil pressure sensor in back when you remove your old manifold. The hose going to the brake booster will hang it and break it. Trust me I know. lol

Yeah, despite being careful I broke mine too when trying to remove it. Best advise I can give you is to just buy a Sending Unit before you even remove the stock one. The years of the plastic being heated and cooled under the engine bay makes the plastic that much more fragile.

Just remember to get some pieces of rubber hoses for the intake bolts in the back because they wont come out all the way because of the windshield cowl
,just in case you didnt know that already! Good Luck!

Slit 4, 1in. long 3/8 fuel hose to hold up the rear bolts while you jockey the intake into position as the back 4 bolts can't be installed with the intake sitting on the engine. The coolant lines need to be the LS6 2 plug in the rear with the crossover only in the front and button head or low profile bolts to secure the valley cover. Have fun.

As far as what everyone is saying about the plastic oil pressure sender in the back. Go get an $8 socket to fit it, and remove it before the intake comes off.. It IS POSSIBLE to remove the sender before you take off the intake. I have done it several times. Save that $40
