I am thinking about doing the LS6 swap and was wondering what all is needed to do the swap to a 98 car. The problem is that i need to keep the EGR for emissions testing. And I think you have to swap out the steam crossover tubes too right? or just grind the ribs off of the bottom of the intake?

Im in the middle of swapping my ls1 for an ls6 as well, my hose was on there real good, but i was able to use pliers to slide the clamp down the hose so it is no longer holding the hose to the intake. then used the pliers and grabbed the hose where its on the intake and broke it free by spinning it on the manifold. then i used my hands and pulled hard while spinning the hose. it was a bitch but it eventually came off.
hope this helps.
did you break your oil pressure sending unit?

Also you are going to have to buy a block off plate or make one in order to delete your EGR, so you don't have a massive exhaust leak. www.ws6store.com has one. you will also throw a code until you delete it either with a tune or a handheld programmer.

For me I had to keep EGR.. damn emissions testing around here is brutal.
I bought a LPE part that fits with any LS6 intake (with minor drilling) and let's you use the stock EGR with no problems.

You wouldn't know I had a LS6 intake... all told it was significantly cheaper for me to get a used LS6 intake with this adapter than grabbin a SLP modified LS6 intake or LS6 intake, block off parts, and EGR delete (local speed shop wanted $75) + hassle of finding a shop that will overlook EGR for my year car...

If you're interested in keeping EGR, you can fab up your own EGR provision similar to the one on an SLP intake. All you need to do is drilling a hole on the intake and getting the correct compression fittings
by chance, I know this is old lol, where can i find the link to turn a non egr ls6 into an EGR LS6. GOt a good deal on an LS6 but im stationed in germany and im trying to keep my car as legal as possible while im here. I eventualy will delete the EGR stuff, but would like to keep my car emissions legal while im here to keep the SES off as much as possible. Gotta clear it every so often due to HF cats installes with LT headers. Stock rear o2s still in there sniffing around. Sending my PCM to frost is not an option right now since this is my DD.
