37/64" is the proper size, however as it's a tapered threada 9/16" (36/64") will work if that's all you've got on hand. It's only 0.015" smaller, just wiggle the drill around a bit after you break through...

as far as the oem stb....when i did my intake swap, my stb didnt fit, at all, had to buy a bbk stb, and that seems like it barely clears the hood

yes the dip stick is a beast to get back in. All I did was ran it on the out side of the manifold istead of through. I had to bend it alittle, But It's impossible to put it through, withthe manifold on the head.

RE: near finish of PI Swap - HELP w/ intake manifold sensors
gah okay so now theres a "knocking" sound when i take off and my dad says i need to either run higher octane or take it to a performance shop and have them reset the ignition or somethign because its letting in the same amount of gas but taking in all the air....
any inputs?

Just finished my PI intake swap yesterday...instead of tapping another hole i just used a T fitting and extended the drivers side sensor to reach over that far.

RE: near finish of PI Swap - HELP w/ intake manifold sensors
KNocking sound could be a few things but not from octane. You do need a custom tune to make sure your getting the most of the heads. You need a custom fuel map in order to not use too much fuel. You could be running lean down low and rich when you hit your air/fuel table or vice-versa....

RE: [UPDATE 07/22] completed PI swap - few questions
Dude, you arent running 93? When you did the PI swap, you bumped the compression to 10.5:1! You HAVE to run premium now! Go get that octane fixed before your engine goes boom!
EDIT: What your dad mentioned can be fixed by disconnecting the battery for 20 mins- this will flash the "Ram" of the ECU, and it will relearn the proper air/fuel mixtures at certain RPM's. Should always do this when adding a new mod, it lets you get the most out of them.
