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

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.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

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.

what are you doing for the missing power steering bracket? Those things tend to flex and make the belt jump or scream if the bracket that went to the exhaust manifold is missing. I believe you might be able to fake it if you make a spacer to go between the header and the bracket tho. They also tend to scream if the AC is missing since the second belt on the PS pump is the AC belt, unless you have alternate belt routing to get both belts on without the compressor.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I think I'll fab up a bracket for it, I ran it without one for a while and didn't have any problems though. But, that also means nothing...

The V belt nonsense in the late 70s had gotten pretty bad. Motors had way too many things to drive in a sane manner with so many different belts. It sure was easier when they finally went serpentine in the 80s.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Should be pretty easy to route a serpentine belt for wp, alt and p/s only on a small block, probably a diagram and belt length floating around out there somewhere. Might have to search on a hot rodder forum, ask those guys because it's a common setup for hot rods.88 Town Car (wrecked, for sale)

the offsets are all different so the multiple belts can pass each other. More likely he'd need a complete new set of brackets to make that work.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
