Weiand Manifold installation question I just purchased this intake mainfold
http://www.holley.com/HolleyNews/article.asp?ID=9
It shows in the picture everything it came with. I was curious if I needed anything else to bolt this on? Do I need any other parts besides what was included in the kit?

When I installed mine, it came with small/shorter bolts to hold the intake down with. Hard to explain.... my ls6 intake had talled holes that came out of the intake that you put the bolts in and tighted. The weiand intake had shorter ones with which I had shorter bolts. I didn't check to see if my longer bolts would fit, I just used what came with it. Good thing is you only have to hold up 2 bolts to get it in/out with shorter bolts. You also might have trouble getting the MAP sensor that connects to the back of the intake to seal properly. Again, I bought mine used so some pieces probably didn't come with mine as they might with yours. I probably should of called weiand/holly and asked for some piece but I did it myself.
Also on the drivers side on the intake about an inch from where the intake and tb connect there is a place where something from the fuel line connects. I couldn't find a fitting that went there so I used a piece of hose and clamped it. Here is a pic.
Old intake. Plastic piece.
New intake. Nothing to connect them. Had to use tubing.
Hope this helps man! Good luck!

Keep in mind that this manifold also uses special gaskets, going by the picture though it looks like they're included so no worries there. Just remember that tidbit if you ever take it off and put it back on in the future...it'll be vacuum leak central if you try to use a stock ls1 gasket.
