Its a bit more involved then a stock install but still very easy. You have to change out coolant lines, extend radiator hose, change out fuelrail fuel lines.

But I installed the intake, elec wp, linelock and new valve covers in about 3 hours by myself. But I'm really good at this stuff
wheres the asterik that says it was all done with the motor out of the car
LOL no this project I left the engine in the car.

You can do it while the intake is in but it wouldnt be fun.

Look at the back of your intake. On the driverside you will see where the installer plugged the hole with the brace fitting supplied with the intake. There should also be a ****** fitting with the kit, replace the plug with the ****** and run a hose and T into the heater hose.

I thought it was more complicated than a little unplugging and hosing?

seems simple enough,, i thought it required removing the heads...n/m though!

There's nothing to it!

It looks like a spider :-)

On a stupider note, I'm not even sure I could use one of those. Mice would be all over up in there.
