Re: LS1 to LS6 problem (speeder75)
you can have plugs made out of the ends of your existing coolant pipe assembly. the two back ends/fittings can be cut from the rest of the pipe assembly and welded closed. this way you retain the fitting and o-ring and use it as a basic plug. you can then modify the rest of your assembly by cutting away the center pipe, weld shut the hole so that you basically have a single bypass at the front that goes from one head to the other under the TB. so just take you coolant pipe assemby to a local welder to help you with this mod. no problem!!
