  Oh, a couple of things I forgot, if you will be replacing the
stock intake manifold, obviously you will need to remove the plenum
cover and you will either need a new plenum gasket or some people
have just used the Right Stuff RTV instead of a gasket, I'm not
sure which way is the better call there, might want to check the
archives or research that. I *think* those bolts are supposed to
be torqued to something like 12 lb-ft, so you might want to have
an inch-pound torque wrench on hand (144 in-lbs), since I don't
think many foot-pound torque wrenches will read that low, and
even if they do they probably won't be very accurate that low
on the scale.
