Default FAST install ?

Just a quick question about installing FAST intake manifold . Do I need to change the coolant lines like with LS6 intake install on 99 LS1 ???

I can't remember what the bottom of the FAST looks like!

So if it is the same as the LS1 (Raised so the coolant line can go under) then you'll be good.

If it is flat like the LS6 Manifold then you will need to get the new lines for the coolant tubes.

Do you have a picture of the bottom of the FAST near you? can you post one?

If not then you will need to do a side by side comparison! Here is a pic to the LS1 How To on swapping from a LS1 to the LS6 - it will show the two different bottoms, so this should give a general idea

Hope this helps a little.
