Who knows. In both cases it was the final stud on the final torque pass.

What do you torque them to?

Thanks.

Factory specs. Make sure the bolt and the hole are really clean and lube with motor oil.

So, you do the torque #, then the angle dimension? I've talked to others, who do, 25 or so first, then final to 75.

Well test fit the intake yesterday......And either of the intakes I bought are gonna fit under the small cowl hood, Figured with the big blow through hat and carb sitting on top it would have given me the room needed.......So going to be going to an LS1/LS6/LS2 car intake

Should have looked into it before but assuming got the best of me.

Oh and a train got derailed with my package on it in Jacksonville UPS said so...

Hell yeah. Weather is finally cooling down. I need to get my driveshaft loop on in the event the 10 bolt/shaft goes boom.

You could shave probably an inch worth of ribbing and crap off the top of that intake if that's where it's hitting.

Nothing like building a car in October to race in December. Yes, I am jealous. We will probably have snow in December.

Well step one in mock today complete grabbed the kit and headed over to the car (So I thought I grabbed the kit) Got there and the car had a low mount set up deal out of an F-body....Well that isn't going to cut it with this kit so will have to address that, Also the sway bar mounts were in the way, Pretty common practice in the fox body community with anything turbo or big forward facing headers those will be taken out

Well when I said I thought I had the whole kit I forgot the V-bands and couplers at the house so had to halt progress for the day other than the little things so far the construction of the kit is pretty nice
