Im getting ready to drop block in, its notnin yet wanted to know if i will have clearance issues with motor dropped then install manifoldsDrain coolant/i Slotted the one end of the studs with a dremel so you can screw them in/installed them last (the front one by the alternator was tight) (LONG) with teflon pipe sealant/some say use exhaust gaskets / my flanges were flat/driverside I needed to wiggle The steering-coupler its a rectangle but it dropped right in after that
Correct. They have the tin heat shield on the driver's side, but no gaskets per se.Big block factory HP manifolds have no gaskets as assembled originally. Are small blocks the same?
