pace parts use to sell the coolant tubes....or try thunder or TSP

as for the injectors...are you using stock units from the other year LS1??

you know you'll need a tune to adjust for the bigger injectors right??

You could just grind off some of the ribs on the bottom of the LS6 instead of re-routing the coolant tubes. There are pics in another thread on here. The difference between your stock 26# injectors and the 28#ers technically wont require a tune but your gas mileage will go down a little. That is if you're still on a stock tune.

TSP sells the conversion kit. It's coolant lines and plugs. I think they have it for $40.

about the cage. i couldn't send an email sorry for posting it here.

hey if you get it cool but he wouldn't move on the price at all and i said i would come and get it and he said no. so it may be a scam i don't know but if someone offered me 50 bucks less and they would come to my house or a gas staion near my house i would take it something weird just not sure what good luck i hope it goes smooth. try to pick up instead of shipping see what he says. maybe he was mad i offered less who knows. look at my feedback. plenty of transaction.
