Default ls6 manifold

will the ls6 intake manifold bolt in place of the ls2 manifold on a c6?
is the amount of work of swapping from an ls2 mani to an ls6 mani the same as going from an ls2 mani to a FAST mani?

yes, it would be the same ammount of work since htey both require swapping.

however doesnt the throttlebody in the C6 have a 90mm blade? also isnt it a 4 bolt pattern as opposed to 3 bolt?
may have to get a different TB to do the swap

Swapping from an LS2 manifold on a C6 to an LS6 manifold is a TON of work. The LS2 uses a 90mm throttle body with a 4 bolt flange, and the LS6 manifold only has a 78mm opening and a 3 bold flange. The LS2 fuel rails are also different than the LS6 fuel rails. The FAST 90mm intake will be MUCH less work.

When you do the swap, you will need to be extra careful. The brake vacuum port on the LS2 manifold is recessed more than the other 2. This fitting is going to hit the firewall, you will have to figure out how to clearance this without blowing out the windshield!!!!!
