First time installing intake, TB, MAF... advice?
I want to install some simple bolton parts this weekend in my 5.0L, but have no experience with EFI cars (built a 289 with carb). Anyone with experience, I would appreciate your feedback.
The parts to be installed: [ul][*]TFS Track Heat Intake (Upper & Lower)[*]BBK Throttle Body[*]Pro-M MAF[/ul]What, if any problems should I expect to run into (injector removal and reinstallation, etc)?
How long should the overall installation take beginning to end?
I have gaskets for the upper to lower intake, and upper intake to throttle body. I will need to buy the lower intake to heads gasket... are there any others?
Thanks for any advice!

About a month ago i did the same except with holley upper and lower. the only thing that was a pain im my *** was that the stock egr spacer trying to get it off the stock manifold from all the carbon it was pain to get it to pop off there. but other then that pretty simple time consuming

i swapped u/l intake to the typhoon in about an hour i think from start to finish, i dont usualy time this stuff. haha. but its simple to remove, just know where your vac lines go and your golden.

if you have mechanical skills you should have no problems, the upper and lower intakes swap is pretty straight forward, just make sure you know where the vacuum lines. Make sure you mark the distributor before you take it out, if you dont you might be a couple teeth off and be out of timing. other then that its not bad.
