Well i bought the car with the Intake manifold off. and no waterpump. No fuel injectors nor fuel rail no radiator .

I got the radiator installed
I got the new high volume gm performance water pump on
I got the intake manifold on

I got the new valve covers on order will be here in a week or so.

Need help getting all the vacuum lines put back togeather. The guy who had it broke one of the fuel rail bolts inside the manifold need to get it out and rethread it.

And need help putting the fuel rails back on and all that. Nothing insane. And i figured whoever cam out we could have some beers and fire up the grille on a sunday. Also if you needed to do anything to ur car i will be more than glad to help, as my garage has more tools than most car dealerships lol :O)

The intake manifold he had was that new edelbrock one. FYI also i have an extra set of canton valve covers i will be glad to give who ever comes out and helps. I did not like the look and to much of a pain to relocate the things to get them to fit correctly. But who ever helps me get this beast running can have em.

If you were closer I'd be glad to help, but Pit is a little too far out there...
