Speedmaster MidRise Air Intake Manifold

I should have added when I do my test fitting I have a nice heavy duty black magic marker that I trace a “cheater-line” on the front dam of the block. Kinda gives me a nice target line to line things up instead of bolt holes that you can’t see till you get it almost in place.

I could see that helping. However in this instance i dont think it would help much. With the 300A alternator in the way you cant hardly see the front of the intake. (Retired fire truck) Then add trying to balance yourself and everything else head first over the fender/grill by holding the cowl or master cylinder with one hand. Shoulda been a circus act. Some trucks you can sit under hood on fender with feet on frame. Not this one. Not with my big feet and 6'3". Several times i about got stuck in there. Had to pull one foot out at a time then wiggle the rest out. Then push off and jump hoping to land in a good spot. Then try that as your belly snags on the hood latch. Ya dont want to go there. Im just lucky im not fat and wasnt much to snag.
