Re: ls6 intake install questions I dont think it will fit with the LS1 coolant lines. The Ls1 intake has a channel to allow the coolant line to run from the back of the motor to the front. The LS6 intake doesn't have this channel, that is why you remove the line, and use plugs for the rear and a new front coolant line that does not go under the intake.

Re: ls6 intake install questions I wouldnt recommend it as the rear plugs would be VERY difficult (if not impossible) to get at with the intake installed. Also you would be seeping out coolant all night, making a mess.

Re: ls6 intake install questions I don't think that the LS6 intake will fit with that coolant pipe section in place. The plugs go into the rear of the valley, behind the knock sensors.
I didn't think that the ZO6 intakes had a provision for the throttle hardware??? Did you retrofit it, or something?
