Im sure this has been talked about but....
Going to LS6 intake. I know to watch out for the oil sending unit. Anything else? What about the whole coolant line's? what are my options there

I thought it was possible to just cut the bottom of the manifold to fit over the lines?

It is , but i wasnt cuttin crap! I did however think pretty hard about finding the coolant lines to match the front of the engine for the back. Im not so sure i like the idea of blocking off coolant passages.
