Got the ls6 coolant crossover pipes now what??

I'm not exactly sure what else I need to get this together. I know I have to run the rear hose to the front, t it off, and run to the radiator. Does anyone have a pic or an idea of what size hose I need. Along with that I need the 4 bolts for the coolant lines. I read on tech that they might be m6x1x30mm. Does that sound right??

I believe it is 1/4in hose and the bolts are m6 but not sure on the length. Just go in your garage and measure for the length, easy enough.

This is how i have always ran mine, just clamped a piece of gas pipe into the radiator hose with a tapped hole and barb fitting in it.

I think what he is trying to say is to create a thread for your swap and ask all questions in that thread.

Just localize all your questions into a single thread or start a build thread. You could post pictures and document your progress which would be cool too.

Also it is usually faster to look for the answer in a search either on here or on ls1tech.
