Porting the Intake Manifold

Ok tomarrow my buddy is gonna hook me up with his dremel tool, all I need to do is figure out how to get the manifold off and port the sucker, I have a 89 GTU if that matters. Does anybody have some tips for me, maybe some pics or a tutorial?

Also what bits should I pick up for the dremel?

Thx
Zach

to take it off is pretty simple, just undo all the bolts an hoses and wires that hold it to the rest of the engine. this doesnt mean undo all the bolts you can see. try haynes manual if you get stuck. all of the bolts are easily accessible with 12mm and 10mm sockets, a ratchet and an extension.

go for it

If you want to know how i ported my intake, do a search with my name, and intake manifold. It was a good sized thread. You guys should rate it, to try to get it archived. CJ
