and the fun begins, it has the original gaskets, which were leaking on the outside of the block, but never into the oil, i found one outer lower intake bolt that i would have dam near been able to remove with my fingers. i'll take pics of the difference in the gaskets later.
[attachmentid=10399]
[attachmentid=10400]
i will selling my original intakes at a later date if anyone is interested?
