Default Y8 IM Swap Write up?

I have a z6 and i want to swap my z6 Intake mani with a y8 one i have with a gsr throttle body.
I know the y8 and z6 IMs are a little differant, anything i should be concerned about? Or does anyone have a write up on how to do this? Im basically just not trying to run into any unnexpected issues. Thanks

did you modify the gsr throttle cable bracket to work? you can buy the butterfly and wheel and bracket for a type r throttle body and fit it on.
y8 manifolds have cold start coolant pockets i believe

the gsr TB has a weird throttle bracket that makes the cable stick up in the air
