intakehoses.com

I found them to be a lot cheaper than siliconeintakes. 4"x24" AL tube for $18 and 4" 45 degree rubber elbow for $14

REV intake and exhaust valves, and doubler roller timing chain were also delievered, now the only thing I need is the cam.

Used volant box, spectre filter that took forever to get here but is the biggest that will fit, 12" of AL 4" pipe, and 2x 45 degree rubber couplings. I bought 24" of AL but only needed half that, and if I did it again, I would go with 1x20 degree coupling, and 1x45 degree. Since ive had the blower ive been SD and I took out the maf a while ago for no particular reason but since then the intake has been kind of a hodgepodge. This only took about an hour to make, even with cutting the pipe with a hacksaw.

Does anyone have some extra cover screws for the volant lid? Is the volant box suppose to be secured on the engine side of it? All I saw was two bolt holes on the fender side and nothing else...

I think im going to just run a breather on the passenger valve cover breather and block off the hose....or maybe ill route it to the other side, I just dont want to pull junk through the intake and blower. The TB was slightly oily when I took the tube off.

You can pull the engine out easy with just pulling the hood off and seperating the motor and trans. You don't have to move the trans back or anything. It gets tight btween the top of the core support and the top of the firewall but it will come right out. I can't wait to see how this truck does
