That's NOT an LS6 intake...it has the EGR system and none of the LS6's came with EGR...GM had eliminated the EGR system by the time the LS6's began production.
As far as doing an LS6 swap, check out the link in my signature on lots of info from when I swapped my crate LS6 into my '98 Z28. I used my stock '98 wiring harness and computer and swapped all the sensors from my '98 LS1 to my '04 LS6 and actually ran the stock tune for a few years before I went and had it tuned.
Actually, here's the direct link to my LS6 install page:

...If I were you, I wouldn't even try putting the other ECM in. Use your stock harness, transfer over all of your '99's sensors to the new motor and you shouldn't have any problems at all.
Since you're doing the FAST intake and LT headers, I would go have the stock ECM tuned.

I spoke with the guy with the ls6 today and he said it aS a long block pulled out of an 04 ctsv, then he installed this in his 98 Z28 and had to use the Ls1 intake to make it work. How does that sound?
Either way, I'm not buying it and my ls1 is being completely rebuilt right now, along with vette 243s and either a Titan IV or Street Sweeper cam.

Yeah, I had to hoist the bullshit flag. I told him I was rebuilding my engine and he said that's probably the best idea. I personally think he may have had the rarer ls6 block which came in a few of the f body's and added 243s to it. That would only make sense, else why would you stick an ls1 intake on a true ls6? The guy has tons of parts in the background, so he very well knew what he was doing. This is all speculation, but it still doesn't add up.

BS flag should definitely be flying!

Are the headers from a LS1 interchangeable with the LS6 platform? I bought my gen 4 bird with a LS6 already in it and I wanna throw some headers on but I’m not sure if I should buy LS1 headers designed for the car or LS6 headers I’m just not sure if the two are interchangeable or not ?
Any help is appreciated.
