need quick info on Ls6 intake install
I need to install my ls6 intake very soon.. I'm going to follow the Ls1howto swap info, but one part was unclear to me.. Can anyone show me a close up picture of what the coolant plugs and pipe look like, and also do I need any gaskets? Where is the best place to buy everything i need?
any info or tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

just installed mine yesterday as the oil switch was shot.
On the back side i blocked off the cross over line.
just make sure you have only one set of the spacer/or ing plates installed.
The front side hooks to the Throttle Body (unless you bypassed it)
basically a crossover with a small extention to the TB.
i had ALOT of anti freeze come out, others have had none.
just to be on the safe side block off the intake ports with paper towels and expect have a leak, basically
i did the back side first the the front.
the stock tubing alows enough room to do the back 1st.
also just use some tape to hold the back rear bolts from sitting all the way in the manifold.
PM if you have any other ?'s
on a 1-10 scale this is for normal person a 5.

Anyone have some pictures of the parts I'll need, or part numbers for if I want new o rings?
