Don't do that unless you are very skilled! If you do you can very very easily take off too much material and put a hole in the bottom of the manifold
IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO GRIND THE BOTTOM OF THE LS6 MAIFOLD!
It is only about $60.00 for the two plugs for the rear and the bypass tube! It is simpler and safer to do! You will also save much time doing it this way!
Perhaps do a post to see everyone's who's done a LS6 manifold swap what they would do!
You got my vote here for the bypass kit!
If you need the GM part numbers for the plugs and bypass tube let me know!
Thanks,Matt

I did not know about this method...............I will definitely be cutting those fins off and saving the money. To me that is a no brainer unless you like to spend money on rubber tubes and a few metal fittings........that is ridiculous.

There was someone on here a few years ago that did this with success. He left his LS1 water tubes in place, applied white paint to the upper surfaces of them, laid his Z06 manifold down on top of them very slowly and in the correct position, them Dremeled along where the white paint showed up.
