um... unbolt ur upper, unbolt your lower, bolt on ur new lower, bolt on your new upper. lol, its really straight forward.

when u bolt down the lower use a lil rtv in the corners where it meets the block and heads. make sure u use the right tq specs and connect everything correctly. bag and tag if nessacery but it shouldnt be. changing ur intake is easy.

tools:screwdrivers, sockets, tq wrench. <just ur basics

torque 20-25ft lbs. after engine is hot, torque again.

upper intake is 13-18 ft lbs, torque in a circle starting from the back.
