Need alittle help.
I am going to do a ls-6 intake swap on my 99frc in a couple of weeks and I need to know what all I need to switch my intakes out. Do I need new gaskets if so which? Also do I need some kind of colant pipe if so where do I get it at. thanks for the advice.

Maybe the link below will help some. Article shows LS1 to LS6 PCV conversion.

Just did the same thing on my '99FRC a couple of weeks ago..
Gene Cully has the coolant pipes:
12602544 – Coolant Pipe
12602540 – Coolant Plug Qty 2

Gaskets are re-usable, as long as they're not torn or otherwise damaged...Also, consider sealing the knock sensor while you're in there.. I took the opportunity to replace my OPS as well as a TB bypass...

You can actually trim the bottom of the LS6 intake to clear the LS1 coolant tube. So, you end up not needing anything. If your lucky, you may be able to find the thread here that has some pics of how to do it.
