Removing Intake Manifold
2007 GT with the conventional (on engine) thermostat location.
I was going to change the thermostat. I could not get to the bolt up under the plenum for thermostat removal.
I removed the rails and all the intake bolts. I could not get the intake to lift at the rear.
I could not see anything holding it down.
Is their something hid in the rear or under the intake that has to be removed?
With the slotted inner bolt position I can likely remove the alternator to get to it and still get the thermo housing off.
However Im going to need the intake manifold off in the future to do CMCV Deletes.

RE: Removing Intake Manifold
+1, taco may have some nice pics
unless something changed, there should just
be 10 bolts (5 per side) and one connector
at the rear
