did you buy the intake new or used ?make sure to use the proper bolts on the valley cover pan before you try to mount the intake to the engine .some people recommend using stock GM intake bolts instead of the supplied fast stainless steel bolts .don't over tighten them.make the rubber seal gaskets for the intake runners are seated .use some drops of super glue if needed to hold them in place .

They keep it loosely assembled like that to keep the gasket in place that is between the shells. You are "supposed" to take it apart and make sure the gasket is still in place, which I assume most if not all are. But the six bolts they are talking about are the short ones on the front and back of the intake that help hold it together. If you don't want to take it apart just take the nuts off the longer bolts and drop it in.
