Since I had 4 hours in trying to fasten 8 bolts. I went forward and installed everything. After getting it to a somewhat consistent idle I sprayed starter fluid all around the intake only to find that I still have a leak. It
appears to be the #5 & #7 ports. I was able to spray a good amount under the manifold between the valley pan having the same results the RPM's really kicked up.
So off it will go again.
The parts shop showed me a valley pan that is minus the gaskets for the intake. Has anyone seen or used it?
I'm sending the intake in to be milled (once I've taken a reading).
