What Do I Need?
Ok I have an auto Corvette and want to swap out my LS1 intake Manifold to an LS6. I already bought the LS6 manifold from a forum member, but just wanted to know what parts I needed in order to install this. I've read other threads that said something about a coolant line and smoothing off the bottom, but does anyone know the part numbers, or if there's anything else I need? Thanks!

There are two ways to address the coolant bypass lines. You can grind clearance for your existing lines or you can use the LS6 setup. If you want to go the LS6 route you will need to buy the following:
(1) pipe assembly 12602544 Quantity 1
(2) cover 12602540 Quantity 2
I would recommend getting them from Gene Culley at gmpartshouse.com
If your intake is not new I would also recommend you get new gaskets.

GM PartHouse only lists one part # for an 01 to 04 intake.
Intake manifold, corvette
01-04 $838.72 $525.87
That leads me to believe it is the same intake for both LS1 and LS6.
They do show different part #s for the cams so it's not as if they don't list LS6 specific items.
