um...ya...pm him ^^^ Good deal Don't get a dorman intake though...Those are crapo

 

havent been on this forum in so long! good to be back

but to help you out. i too had a mess on my hands after a cracked manifold. i bought the ebay one, aluminum crossover. cost me $200 installed it myself in about 6 hours by myself and ive never done more than an oil change before taking on that task. so id say your fiiiine.

this is random but, to everybody. how hard is it to pull off a PI swap? the trifecta.

 

the problem your gonna run in to with the PI swap is setting the timing, i have some very incompetent friends who are trying it right now and that is where they got stuck. i had never messed with it so i had no input to give them, to the OP it is very easy to do yourself just remember where everything went, also it is alot cheaper to buy the OEM (200$) , even if the intake is only 300-400$ you still have to get the plumbing and not sure about all but some aftermarkets require new fuel rails.

 

get an aluminum one of you plan on spraying or f.i.

 

We carry the fixed version with the aluminum crossover. It comes with a limited lifetime warranty. It's an easy way to fix the issue.
