Good Day from the Future; 3/10/2024 I love my 2004 Z06 Commemorative LS6 Corvette. I bought it new. I've owned MOPARS in the past. Three 440 Magnums, a 383, a 340 and a 318. Great Engines for their day. My LS6 has 131,000 miles on it, no leaks, runs like new, gets good gas milage on the highway and still has the original factory clutch. Best Engine that I've ever owned. Great Information on your part. Thanks & Best Wishes.

Easiest way to tell is the X in between the intake ports (plastic shape) vs the LS6 which is not X just reg plastic squares.

I see that you can buy really inexpensive stainless steel braided steam vent crossover pipes like you showed in the vid but they’re more aesthetic. Can you simply buy a steel braided version of that instead of the junkyard one you showed, and install for looks? Perhaps better venting as well

Hey Chris, Nice video. Was wondering if you could answer this for me, were there any coolant lines behind the block because I have a coolant leak back there and was wondering if I need to pull my manifold off to get to them, I have a 01 camaro ss with a LS6 intake that was put on 4 years ago. Thanks

Yes you have the coolant blocks in the back. Those leak regularly. It's small aluminum blocks on the top of the heads in the rear.

So i have a 2003 vette , dont i have an ls1 intake? and i should use a ls6 intake? does the throttle body matter? and isn't this piece the only difference from an ls6 engine or z06 engine?
@MRdarthvenom Жыл бұрын
You have an LS1 motor but it comes with an ls6 intake. The z06 had better heads but GM started using the ls6 intake on corvettes after 2001 and Camaros/trans ams after 2002. That is the main reason why power jumped in those years.

All you have to do is look on the bottom of the intake and they look way differentthere's no way it comes off of a 2002 Camaro cuz Camaros never had the ls6's only Corvettes Cadillacs and that's pretty much it not even the gto's had them
