Default Intake Manifold Install

I was wondering where I could find an install guide for the intake manifold (purchased the BBK SSI Intake Manifold). Not sure if I wanna put this on my self due to how difficult it may be. Thanks

Its not really to hard to do, I think install university has one, or do a search for one, and you will find it.

I just did mine 2 weekends ago. The only problem I had was getting the brake booster hose back on. The BBK is taller in the back and I still have my AIR system which leaves little room back there. Also, once installed, the brake booster hose sits tight up against the oil pressure sending unit:
(I had to Lift the manifold up and over the oil pressure sending unit)



To gain a little clearance, I bent the brass barb out a little so that I could snap the connector back down on the sender.
Other than that, piece of cake.

Get a hammer and sharp chisel, have someone hold the mainfold for you and go to town knocking the plastic grid off the bottom. Fits fine after.

be very careful to not snap the oil pressure sending unit clean off! Not hard to do at all! Trust me!
