Intake is on, just had to pick up a new bracket so the old throttle cables fit on my Holley...

He said he wants to put the intake on the car once the motor is in, and he's done it enough times I'm letting him do whatever he pleases lol.

Putting the intake on once it's in? Its a lot easier to do that out of the car. One thing I never liked about GM intakes is that the bolts don't go straight down. You can't make up alignment dowels to hold the gaskets and line up the intake. You just have to shmoo them in place and hope you get it dropped in square without moving the gaskets. I do appreciate that they finally gave up on the stupid end wall gaskets though. If you buy gaskets from GM, they come with a little tube of black RTV and instructions to use it. The cork BS never worked.

It sure won't be a race engine, but at least it looks a heck of a lot better!

Two quick photos from lastnight, would have been in but they had the wrong motor mounts hooked up...

It's not worn out and leaky like the old one, and much cheaper/easier than any other option, so sounds good to me.

Pretty much, lol.
