Default LS6 intake modification?

ok so my ls6 has been sitting in my room collecting dust for the past month because the coolant lines i ordered have not been shiped yet...

i just searched for about 30 min for alternative routes to take and found a couple of posts on grinding the bottom of the intake with a dremel, who has done this and would you reccomend it?, anyone have any pics or advice for me???

I like this method/option better I think:

In other words you can modify your current pipe to work as well.

That's what I did with mine. Works beautifully, just make sure you get solid welds on the rear coolant plugs.

I have a couple of brand new rear LS6 plugs laying around - pm me if you can use them. That should make it easy to cut the existing lines to use on the front.

I think so, or maybe just chromed mild steel?
