Default what headers to use if i do LS6 transplant

will ls1 headers/manifolds work after swap, do these engines use the same injectors? Should i get lingenfelters al. intake or ls6? due to egr/ crank vents. whats this i hear about dif pcv system and no egr on ls6, aside from vette oil pan should go right in, ideas ?

I think the LS1 manifolds will work, not 100% sure on that though, might as well do headers while you are swapping motors, shorties/midlengths/longtubes...

Whatever you want...

you will not have a problem bolting up any headers to your ls6 heads. they both use the same header. just dont try to use the vette manifods because they are routed different and will probably not clear.

There is no EGR on the LS6 nor is there one on 01-02 F-bod's. The PCV is completely different as well, it's better on the LS6...
