With regards to the intake, exhaust, and heat sheild, this is the way that I
recently did it also,
works well. Dont forget to bolt up the little support part way down the
exhast manifold
from the manifold to the engine, as it will help keep the manifold from
cracking. Smear the heat shield and manifold with silver anti-sieze (get
the big
gray bottle, at NAPA)...and you will have the poor man's chrome finish,
which will
give some rust protection and will actually keep the exhaust manifold siver
looking for
a year or more. I took a 13MM wrench and cut it down to about half length,
which
greatly eases the tightening of the carb nuts.
