Put the intake gaskets on, silicone both ends(throw the end gaskets away), hold intake with one hand in plenum, other hand holding distributor and rear of manifold. You only need to hold the manifold up off the engine half an inch to keep from messing up the silicone. Easy squeezy.

    My problem isn't that, its knowing when to quit. I'd be thinking.....hmm...I'm only a few more bolts away from pulling the cam and really making this worth the effort lol.
    When I was in my early 20's I had a car the engine was wore out in. My simple rebuild turned into a 6-71 blower sticking out of the hood. :beer:

    Hmmm! i like a nice blower....
    a close mate of mine built this to go in his 25' revenger, (it's a british boat) he's now sold the boat and it's just sat in his workshop, do you think it would go in the Diablo???
    might have to lose the sun pad...
