Looks good. How many miles you got on that engine?
Make sure you seal that intake up real good. On my lt1, after I seal the intake down, I took some sealant along the back section of the intake where it meats the block and smeared it along the their just to be sure.

have you got a camera , other than your camera phone? i can't see to much , due to the pic quality. almost looks alike a set of hand ported heads, are they? also do you have much build up in the intake? last but not least make sure you put a good bead of rtv on the block where the intake seals . make sure you llet it cure for 10 to 15 mins to build a good film on itself , before you apply the intake itself.

i let the rtv set for 20 minutes then installed the intake. Found out my torque wrench was broke so i just tightened it down good and will check it when i get a new one. The heads are lloyd elliot when he first started doing em back in 2000. The motor has 98k miles. I put a nice bead about half the total width of the mating surface and went onto the side gaskets about 1/4 to 3/8". I also used the spray gasket on the side gaskets. I put a little more rtv on the back than the front and made sure to set the intake striaght down. I had some long phillips heads in the front 2 bolt holes but the intake would not go down with them in the way so i had to raise the front up a little bit and pull those out. I was tyring to use them as alignment pins. Anyway gotta go helpa friend and stop by auto zone to get some vacume elbows since i had 4 that were just nasty and the pcv elbow had a big hole in it. I also found the back pass bolt loose when i took the intake apart.

Question...On the injectors were they go into the intake there is an orangish looking thing just above the rubber o-ring. 6 of my injectors have this and 2 don't? I also lost 2 fuel rail clips but have been told i don't need em.

Will be home later tonight...Thanks for the comments. Sorry my phone is all i have for a camer and i forgot to set the res. up to 1.3 I forgot. I use the camera for work and take pictures of homes with it at 640x480 and it works great...ANyway
