I just did my LS6 intake/jantzer tb and since I'm ghetto and poor I took the stock lines to work and cut the the pipe going through the middle out, smashed the end on in a vice and brazed it shut. Did the same with the rear pipes except I just made them into plugs the same way. |
I'm about to do this, but none of what yall are saying makes since. What am I going to need to do my intake swap? |

The LS1 intake has a path under it that allows the coolant line to go navigate to the back of the motor. The LS6 intake does not have this path. It is flat, so no lines can go under it. You need a coolant pipe for the front and plugs for the back. Take a looky looky.. Click me |
