Tips for replacing intake manifold/headers

heat will be your friend, they should have sealant on them ( found out the hard way when installing the new ones and had a leak ).
there was a post on .org with the McMasterCar part numbers for replacements. I used all grade 8 nuts on mine with success ( so far-made it a couple years )
I bought slightly longer than stock ones for mine. the aftermarket manifold & Clifford headers are thicker that the originals.
