How do you know it's eating it? Sometimes these cars take forever to fill with coolant. The level will just keep going down untill you swear you've put 20 gallons in the damn thing.

First thing you should do is check your oil after it's been running and see if it looks like a melted milk-shake.

If you bolted that LS6 down with the coolant tubes still in place, you either cracked the manifold, bent the tube (probably broke it), or it's not sealing up right.
