Cory, that's most of it. You will also have to use the FB dizzy and exhaust manifold.

yup, I moved to Lynchburg VA in early July for an engineering position with AREVA. The people in this little city don't kno what to make of the 7, they almost seem too intimidated to race me . Anyways, I'm less than 3 hours from Charlotte so every now and then I come back on the weekends to chill so I'll line it up with one of the meets one of these months. Saturdays work out perfect for me too.

will do! I encountered another problem though......I encountered an extra exhaust port that i forgot about apparently.....HUGE exhaust leak hahaha it sounds like ****. and I think at one point I saw coolant running from bottom of the intake at the center? o-rings? kinda strange and i may have overfilled the radiator haha. but I got her idling pretty smooth now and all my leaks are fixed but like i said i need that accelerator pump to make cold starts go smooth

Kory, you can only use a SA intake on a SA center iron engine. You will have to use a FB intake if the center iron has the EGR port below the center iron itake ports.

The meet is 6 pm today fellas. I hope everyone can come out!!!!!!

The intake is an SA intake, as far as i know its the one that was on the engine when i pulled it outta my sa, I think I have the wrong exhaust manifold. and the coolant was only seeming to leak after i shut it off. btw where does the coolant guage get its reading from? the water neck sensor or another one?
