Seriously though, had to take a lot of work and the kit is the nicest out there...

The Hilco stuff is top notch and can be found on my all my cars..

Very nice. Does the "Under the hood" package from Hillco include the bolts that have the chevy logo stamped to the heads like in the pic you posted?

Does the kit include the four small screws that go on the MAF?

ARP is definitely offering the intake kit. I have them and they are top quality as you'd expect from ARP.
