I bought a used Reichard Racing intake manifold at a great price... The intake is bare and I'm needing some pics of already installed tnakes, installation tips, guides, difficulties, what intake gaskets to use, anything to make this thing go in easy, an installation guide would be great. thanks guys.

I haven't installed one of these but looking at the pictures on their website:
Stock PI gasket should work. It also looks like the stock style fuel rails will bolt on, and it even has a place for the alternator to bolt to. They changed that alternator bracket a few times (windsor vs romeo i think) so you may have to have one fab'd up or just modify the one that comes with it. There are holes for the coil bolts and the EGR and IAC even look to be in the right spots. The only other thing that I see that I'd be concerned with is the coolant crossover. It looks like you will have to supply the hose between the left and right front corners.

Good luck!
 
I guess I am just kind of looking for pics of someone elses engine bay that has done the install to see up close exactly what it looks like. It doesnt seem very hard, just wanting to know of any qwirks, and a photo reference. Im sure someone on here has to have something to show or say!

I'll post dyno numbers before and after as well here in a few.
 
I have a twin cobra throttle body and a custom intake. Its a CX Racing FMIC with 3.5" pipes going into a 4" aluminum tube that is going to connect to the throttle body, the intake tube looks very similar to that of a JLT cold air except aluminum (I used their elbow that they use to mount to the throttle body) As soon as I get a chance I will post pics of it. Custom, by me :nice: and looks real clean. A vortech mini race bypass is attached via a welded bung on the 4 inch right after the 90 coming up from the fender well. Its crammed with the Anderson power pipe, but im very happy with the way it looks.
