Im afraid I'm going to have to replace the intake gaskets this spring. (Im getting a quarter sized puddle of oilin the garage after driving the car. When the car is on the lift I can see where the oil has built up at the top of the bell housing and down either side of the block under the heads.) How much time am I looking at to do this?? I have done plenty of small block Chevy intakes and am fairly knowledgable with them. I just don't like the looks of the cowl sticking out so far on this thing[:@]. Is it fairly easy to get the intake out under the cowl like that??

Not as bad as it looks. The leak is usually where the manifold meets the back of the block, and GM does not use a gasket at that point. Strictly a RTV job.

 

Thanks Pete. i figured it wouldn't be too bad with no distributor to take out and no coolant to mess with, but you never know!!! I'll probably do it here within the next few weeks so we'll see how it goes.
