Lower manifold fitment truble
Well about 2 weeks ago i had snapped one of the barrel off the lower intake manifold. So while I was waiting for the part to come in, I decided it would be a good to get a jump on dropping the engine.....
After hours of fight with the block by myself I finally manage to get the bell housing bolts on. Followed up with mounts, exhaust, wire harness, ext.
Finally my part comes in and I'm getting ready to install the lower intake manifold...... I just wasn't thinking about how I would manage to fit it in at the time
Now I'm struggling with a way to figuring out what I will need to removed with out having to pull the engine back out.
My guess is pull the motor mounts back out. Get the engine on a hoist and push the engine as much to the drivers side. Then see if there's enough room to bolt it in.
I haven't started taking anything off yet just thought I would ask a few DIY veterans before pulling things back out..... Not trying to back track to much.
