Default Coolant tubes

Anyone have a good parts guy? I need the coolant tubes to do a LS6 intake manifold swap. My local dealer wants $80 a tube. I'm looking for 2 12568478 tubes.

Thanks!!

Default One Idea

Beans Chevrolet is the largest Internet wholesaler on the planet. There is a link on this website to get there. They have the best prices normally about 50% of what the local dealer wants. They ship UPS ground.

Good Luck

Check with forum vendor Fred Beans Chevy, they could probably do better than that. Or try to get in touch with Gene Culley, their former parts guy; I have heard a lot of good about him. He goes by his name on this board.

Something I'm missing here? The LS6 doesn't require 2 tubes. Don't know why he would be trying to sell you two of anything.
There's a short front tube and two rear plugs (one for each side) which are included in part number 12568478.
As others have said, call Fred Beans of Fichtner Chev. Both forum vendors. Just be sure to let them know your a forum member.
HTH,
