00 model 5.3 from silverado

i need to run the car intake backwards, well i switched over the dbc throttle body and was going to drop the intake on but it hits the coolant rails in the valley....

anyone ever ran into this?

i plan to keep the car fuel injectors and fuel rail, is this a problem? i spoke with Jim and he said he could put new plugs on my harness

all you need is the ls6 style coolent tube, they make a kit that blocks the back 2 off and comes with a tube for the front for the steam ports

Thanks!

for reference for others who might be looking for this info...

I did some more digging last night and found the part #s.

you need (1) GM LS6 crossover tube P/N 12602544 and (2) plugs P/N 12602540

I believe I read somewhere that you can bend them a little to clear also? Could be wrong

i read that too, from what i could gather you really need to take them off and heat them and a lot of people still had trouble with them kinking... GM parts direct is shipping the rail and two plugs for $54 .. mine was hitting at all 4 corners so i didnt wanna risk it
