LS6 Install
LS6 Install So I did my research before I posted. I'm about to swap to the LS6 on my 98'. I have already deleted the AIR/EGR. I will block them off, when I pull everything out.
So all I need now is one 2001+ Coolant pipe, and two plugs (or another pipe). I read that some people just make their own from an autoparts store, instead of going to the dealer. Have most of yall who have done the swap just use two coolant pipes?
Just trying to get some plans on how I'm gonna do this, and I see that some people have problems of breaking the oil pressure line. I wont push back on this
Thanks guys!

You can make your ls1 intake coolant pipe work with some fabbing, but honestly it isn't worth the hassle. It will more than likely leak after a few miles and you'll have to uninstall the intake again to put on the right plugs/pipe (ask me how I know). In short, do it right the first time.

Hopefully the install will go nice and smooth.
Thanks again guys!

Its not to bad, just be prepared to spend 2 hours total on it. Patience is what I needed most, especially getting those rear bolts loosened/tightened. Just dont drop a wrench back there and waste an hour looking for it on top of the tranny
