I have a 1970 mustang 351w, 2bbl. am swapping with speedmaster dual plane 4bbl manifold. the original manifold has 16 bolts , the new one has 12, the extra four bolts are at the corners next to the outer bolts. Question, will i have problems installing manifold, as far as leaks? Thanks

No problem ,after market intakes leave out a bolt at each corner for some reason.

Thanks for your input. This is my first time building a ford motor. I thought I ordered the wrong intake.
Hopefully I will have it back together for the car show next week.
