Bottom of the LS6 intake is flat and none had a EGR hole. The LS1 intake is curved.

It was so obvious that I thought everyone was joking with their replies. Lol.

Where it goes in the rear of the block:

Does that barbell in the 3rd pic have 2 o-rings? Is that a newer style? I just got a new barbell, I think it was branded Melling, just has one o-ring on the outer part.

All the ones I've seen have just one O-ring.

Oh now I see it's just the reflection in the picture, sort of an optical illusion.

Optical illusion. Only 1 o-ring at rear.

If you are installing a Barbell/Oil Diverter, our precision fit Billet Barbell is the way to go. It forces the oil through the filter and keeps unfiltered oil out of the bearings and lifter needle bearings.
Here is more info and videos on how it works.
