yea obviously you take off the intake, throttle body and unplug any hoses then just unbolt it. its not until you get into removing the lower intake manifold that you have to worry about draining coolant and such. look in the how to section for the thread about the LIMG, lots more info there.

lower intake manifold gasket

i just looked at that thread and there isnt any info about the upper intake really. just use common sense when taking it off, remove only the necessary parts, catalogue them if you have to. you can take a pic of the engine bay before you start so you can look back at it when reassembling.

Thanks for your help man, I am going to remove it, repaint it with a nice black. Let it dry then tape it off, and paint the 3400 SFI and paint that red. Then put a clear coat high temp paint to make it gloosy sound right?

for clear I highly recommend POR 15. the spray on clears like to run. with POR 15 you brush it on and dries beautiful with not stroke marks or runs. and never turns yellow.

What does POR stand for

doesn't stand for anything....POR-15 is the type of clear.
