That looks about right Ted.
You'll need a torque wrench that measures in "inch pounds".
The torque specs are 72 in. lbs. twice around, then 145 in. lbs. twice
again.
Start with the bolts in the center and torque them in a circular pattern,
working out from there.
Use some rtv sealant on the o ringed pipe that supplies the heater(during
reassembly). It's the one that slips in the water pump on the drivers side.
Feel free to e mail me with any tech problems during the install.
I have quite a bit of experience with the manifold swap now...4 times total.
