Junkyard 5.9L Magnum + Edelbrock LA heads build

The intake is gonna settle a bunch with torque. Our Edelbrock RPM on Edelbrock heads set up quite a bit and the bolts were tough to all get started, but once we got them in, it all worked its way down. That LA block had been decked about .010", which is not far from your stock Magnum deck height.

OK good to know, yeah last thing I need is to wait another 2-3+ weeks for my machine shop to mill the intake down. I've always wondered though, every aftermarket aluminum intake I've put on a Mopar V-8 sat up high and barely had room for the bolts to thread in, is there a reason for that?
