Some 360 magnum questions

[Abodysrule]

Oooh, 1973dust, you're tempting me to try that.....

I like that alignment tip, I think I have bolts that'll work (I'll cut).

Question: I'm draining the coolant, I was thinking a couple gallon should be sufficient. Will the coolant drain out of the manifold sufficiently or should I do anything special so as not to get coolant in the oil when I pull the intake?

OK, I drained 1.5 gallon or so of coolant and pulled the intake. Definitely leaking at the rear China wall. I'm cleaning off the old gasket material. Builder used the rubber gaskets with the metal core.

Yup, pull those gaskets and, like @318willrun mentioned, use 3/8" bead, or 7/16" LOL on the front and back china wall. A little extra on the corners. I like Right Stuff gasket maker.

Yep, my builder recommended Right Stuff as well. b

Hey, it looks like there is 1 minute "Right Stuff" "ideal for imports" and 90 minute and also a red version....which one?

I use the regular black in the caulking tube. Easier to get a larger bead.
