Pre-LS swap questions

[Root2812]

Well my LS6 intake arrived today. Its broken. The box was beat to hell and looks like it got dropped right on the back of the manifold. The part with the MAP sensor and vacuum ports got pushed into the intake and cracked around the circle. I don't know if it can be fixed or not.

I sent pictures to the seller and he is sending me another one so I hope that one arrives in one piece. Either way he doesn't want me to send this one back. Do any of your guys have experience fixing these plastic intakes?

Maybe rough / scar the area up and use some 2 part epoxy?

That's one of the things I've read people doing. Apparently this type of plastic is really hard to bond back together. I would like to find a professional plastic welder if I can .
