LA 340 Intake Manifold

I’m surprised to read this. This is a basic thing most know already. Have you worked on any small blocks at all? Big blocks?

It’s 118F here my brain is short-circuiting lol. I’ve done it once before. This is a virtual garage hang out for me as I don’t have any family close to me, none of my neighbors work on their cars heck l never even see them cut their lawns or paint there houses lol. Most of my friends are out of state and so I am grateful to be able to bounce my questions off you guys as if we are all hanging out in my garage shooting **** talking **** drinking beer and wrenching on a car together.



I think you need to read a few books. We can’t teach you a step by step of you don’t know the basics to these engines. A “How to rebuild” book should be a must have book n your library.

There are two plugged water ports in the block on each side of the engine. I suggest you pull these out as to drain the water from the heads down to empty the heads best. Emptying the radiator doesn’t get to the heads and such fully. Even tilting the engine helps. The intake also holds some coolent. Tilting the engine a slight bit (via a jack) helps get it all. After all, the less coolant in the oil pan the better.

:rofl:

The top picture is a newer intake that has the water by pass nipple like a Magnum engine.
