Default Parts needed....?

What parts do I need to install/convert LS1 to LS6 manifold?
Other than the manifold and throttle body, any other parts needed to do this conversion...ie different bolts?

TIA

all youll need is the LS6 front coolant line that goes under the intake, and the 2 rear blocker plates.. These items usually sell for about 45 bucks.

OR

you can lay the intake on it, mark where your LS1 line runs under it, and GENTLY trim the ribs under it with a dremel... you will see what im talking about when you have it in your hands and your working with it..

the ls6 intake sits a tad lower so you either replace the line or trim the bottom. Either way works. You could save the 45 +shipping if you have a dremel and dont mind slightly trimming..

The TB's are the same, and the bolts are the same. Just the coolant lines to deal with. And, I agree with the above poster its not real hard to do some mods to get the old tube to fit.
