They ( SPDC ) sell little block of plugs. They are identical to the plugs in the front but don't have the bar between them. Also for bolts, I found the coil pack bolts fit perfectly in there as well.

A quick search showed this thread from 3 days ago:

It has the part numbers that you need. GMPD (GM Parts Direct) has them but isn't a sponser.

SPDC is a sponsor: http://www.sdpc2000.com/cart.asp?act...tart&catid=873 should and they should be able to help you out as well.

I put another LS6 type pipe in back, and ran a 1/4" hose to the front, connected it with a T. Now I have LS6 with cooling front and back. I think that is important because trapped air bubbles can lead to hot spots in the heads.

Yeah, they were designed for a reason. Whats funny is that it looks like I actually have the room for the LS1 style pipes under my fast 90 intake.

Yeah, you enter the GM part number in the search box. Dont forget the gaskets. The plugs and front pipe come with orings. I'm not sure if these orings replace the oval gaskets that I see in the parts list and service manuals (nobody ever mentions the gaskets)

why not just cut your ls1 coolant lines and silver the ends shut. If you don't know how any welding shop can do it for 10-20$. mine was twenty and works just fine. 8,000 miles on it.

So are those gaskets the little oval gaskets that go under the front pipe and rear plugs? When I ordered my pipe & plugs, there was no PN for the gasket and the pipe & plugs came with little rubber o-rings.

That's what I thought, I could not ever find the part number for those gaskets. Thanks. I take it you guys have these in stock regularly?
