Lower Intake Manifold Question

Street89GT · May 10, 2010

Hello,
I am in the process of a gt40 swap and after torquing the lower intake manifold down I realized taht I put the stud for the stud for the heater core pipe bracket in the wrong location. Can I just leave off the bracket? If the brackets critical can I just remove the 1 bolt and install the stud or will I have to retorque everything?

Thanks!

Just remove the one bolt and put it where it needs to go.No worries.

Thanks, are there any other brackets that attach to the lower manifold? I have two studs and I'm not sure the correct location on the second one.

Well,I have a/c and smog delete.The only studded bolt I actually USE is the one that holds the heater tubes down on the passenger side.

I left the stud off and just let it rest.

The back right (driverside) bolt has a stud to mount the firewall-intake ground strap and the other stud holds the coolant tube.

i cut off the bracket so, in the future i dont need to deal with it to remove anything.

Thanks for all the advice guys, I'll probably jsut leave the bracket on and rest it there.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.
