Removing the engine/tranny/front suspension seems to be done more often from the under side of the car.

It can be done either way. I found it quite easy to take from the top. I also put my 383 and 6 speed in from the top.

There are a ton of pictures of carbed small blocks in 4th gens in this section. Just browse through the old posts and youll find all the info and pictures you need. I just posted a couple pics just a few days ago. The thread should still be on page 1. Intake is a performer rpm, but performer will be shorter.

From everything I've been reading, just use your OEM K-Member. Spending an extra $450-500 for a tubular will just take away from your funds for the rest of your project and the OEM will work just fine.
