Intake bolts I want to drill and tap the 10 M6x1 intake manifold threads in heads to m8 with the heads on. These do not seem like blind holes, can someone tell me where they go if anywhere, ie into the Block, oil,water galleys Ect. Reason why I shouldn't do this? 04 Holden GTO motor, install edelbrock duel plane rpm performer with 600cfm carb, t56,& 3.73 10 bolt posi. In a 99 S10.

It can't yet but it will, if the cal tracks will hold the tires down! Really light in the back end. Still frame off though, and very slowly gettn back together. Looks mean as a roller!

Sorry, what would be the point?

I thought that would be the first reply! Your late. Anyway looks like you have installed a edelbrock. Didn't you find the supplied bolts and the holes in the manifold a bt loose? No, a lot. I have ordered both 6mm &8mm sst flange bolts for the install. With the 6 mm how do you align the manifold with all the slop in the holes? Guess? The efi had brass bush at each end which aligned the manifold the performer does not. The bolts supplied by edelbrock with washers just barely cover the holes. I'm looking for form, fit, and function. What is your experience with the install of the victor?

There's the answer I was needing! Thanks guys! I'll go with the 6mm and I do belive I'll fab some bushings to install into the manifold to help it line up and get a better fit on the bolt.
