anyone with LS1 knowledge I'm sure this has been asked a hundred times, but I did a search and couldnt find what I was looking for so, here goes I recently bought a LS6 Intake for my car and was wondering what i will need to do the swap, ive read i need different coolant lines, where can I find these? Can anyone help me with this, also anything else i should know when I go to start the install, thanks.

you can get the lines from probably most sponsors that sell ls6 intakes.
be careful with the oil pressure sensor, very easy to break off. its on the back of the engine on top behind the intake.
ps, you dont have to have those ls6 coolant lines, if you want to take the time to grind down a few of the ridges on the bottom of the intake. thats what i did and havent had a problem.
there is also a clip for the knock sensors you will have to take off to get it to sit flush. hope this helps

Yup, you'll need the coolant crossover lines. You'll also need EGR blockoff plates to put on top of the intake. If you want to keep your EGR (most don't), then you'll have to buy the SLP LS6 intake with bungs for it.

I've allready removed my egr and air, and the intake i bought doesnt have a egr hole, or whatever you wanna call it. where can i find the coolant lines i need, and the blockoff plates for the back of the intake?? thanks for the help.

Go to the GM dealer and ask for the upper coolant lines off a 2001 f body should be 2 plugs and a crossover line for the front. LS1howto.com I think has the GM part #s listed
Here is the link to LS1 how to http://www.ls1howto.com/ Check out #5 and #17. This site also includes a parts# selection. Everything you need is on that site.
since you'll have the manifold off, might as well do the LS1 to LS6 PCV conversion. I've priced it out to about $80 in parts.
