Prof Prod Typhoon intake with LS1 coolant tubes? I've read that it is preferable to maintain the use of LS1 coolant crossover lines when swapping intakes, so a lot of people grind/break off the ribs or flatten the tubing to get them to fit under LS6 or FAST intakes. However, being aluminum, I feel like it's going to be a bit hard to just break off a rib. Does anyone have any experience with fitting them under a Typhoon?

Put it together yesterday. Just tapped the lines with a hammer to flatten them a little and get them to sit flush on the valley cover and it fit just fine.

Perhaps the difference is that you used the LS1-style 85mm Typhoon and I have the 96mm LS2-style. Either way, not too much effort is needed to fit it.

Updated for anyone who stumbles on this thread looking for info: I swapped to an LS6-style valley cover (with the built-in PCV) and the coolant lines no longer fit. I had to switch to a front crossover and plugs in the rear.
