I had trouble lining up the intake ports with head ports, you also have to grind down your valley cover bolt heads and smash down your steam tubes.

Otherwise they hit the bottom of the intake.

There is nothing to center the intake gasket between the intake and head ports. I put a mark on the head and intake with the gasket mounted to both. That way when I installed it together I knew the gasket wasn't hanging over a port.

I bought mine on here for 350 shipped.

I paid 300 for the Aluminium intake then 125 for the fuel rail. I guess it didn't save me any money.

I started off as a budget build also. LOL
