    Discussion on mild budget build/ top end

    Right here in the state of Nevada I can buy a gt40 upper and lower intake with the 65mm tb from pic a part for less then $200 US dollars. The gt 40 heads for $125 pair. That's why I wouldn't have bought what you did.

    Discussion on mild budget build/ top end

    In a perfect world you would have asked advice on that intake and tb.before purchasing them. Most everyone here would have told you to skip them.

    You can mark the balancer with white paint , one line from center out, drive it awhile and if you see outer ring moved even a fraction then the balancer needs to go. Shop the balancer at rockauto,lmr,cj pony,and amazon.

    351W/5.8 EFI intake manifolds fading away...

    I wouldn't be worried what intakes are available for a 351w I would worry that you are putting 170 heads on a 351w. Ported or not they are not going to do that 351w any justice. Please talk with an engine builder before you buy anything else.
