Members: After fighting with putting on headers and the orignal intake manifold...man you need 3 hands and the washers/holddowns needed to be modified,ground down to sit properly, plus fighting with the 3 piece gasket...I was fit to be tied. Then I go and try to torque the bolts down...There isn't any room for the socket ...only the outside bolts ( I changed out the guide pin with a bolt).....So I snugged it up real good. What else can I do..? And I find out I cant run my external oil filter on the manifold because it hits the headers...AGHHHHH. Bad night.
