Default How to Remove Intake Cover

I did a web search and a search here but found nothing. I guess I'm the only one not smart enough to figure this out...

How is the intake manifold cover removed? All I see are two of the intake bolts at opposite corners that need to be removed. I tried inserting a screwdriver between the two and pried but no go.

What am I missing here?

He's trying to get the plastic engine cover off. Not take the intake apart.

No, not the engine cover or the fuel rail covers. I thought I read that the upper portion of the intake manifold came off. What I've found so far is that it is a two piece manifold, but it is permanently, glued, bonded, etc to the bottom.

Not sure where I heard that. I'm an old school SBC AND BBC fan and the LS series is a motor I'm just starting to learn about.

Thanks guys!

Larry

Well, he can probably find a way to get it apart, but it won't be fit to use after that.

Some (or all?) of the FAST manifolds can be taken apart but not the stockers...
