The UPS just brought by present I bought with the old tax refund. Hope it will fit under my hood.

Awesome!! You get a little extra room from losing the 2bbl egr spacer which will make the intake and carb height about the same. All in the air cleaner height and recessed bottom around the carb.
Nice intake BTW, I have a few of those and have been very happy with Weilands. Might toss the idea of painting the intake with a good high temp engine paint before installing, The aluminum does oxidize and turn whitish otherwise after a year or two. |

Thanks! Sounds good Robb. I think I have some Eastwood Diamond Clear. Would that work?

I used silver spray can engine enamel but anything that can take heat should work fine.

I'm just hoping it warms up enough to get started on it. Isn't this supposed to be spring?

The ground hog lied! Maybe he is sending a signal to wait for the next payday and get a cam, lifters and timing chain while you are building it up... :)
BTW with the intake and carb setup you should be able to advance the timing a few extra degrees and get more power from it. If the carb is vac secondary usually a lighter spring is needed to let the secondaries open properly on a 351. Can usually get the spring setup kits for around 10-15 bucks. |

while you are at it, make sure you get the "quick change" kit for the secondary spring. well worth it.
