I’ve never posted to YouTube. I may have a account but never log in. I’d rather post it here if it were possible. But honestly it’s nothing to Ooo or aaaahhh about. It’s pretty tame/lame lol. Nothing like a cammed up motor.
Super easy to do, just hit upload choose file then share

Honestly the eBay universal kit had way more in it than I needed. I barely used it. I ended up buying some Walker intermediate pipes off summit already bent the way I liked. 2 elbows to shift drivers side pipe over to passenger side and pointed back. I put a universal X/H pipe looking thing in, A couple 2.5” Summit chambered mufflers up on their sides and dumps. I am pretty happy with it. At 75mpg it drones a little. Around town is pretty tame. Lean on it and the chambered mufflers start boomin!! I really like it. I really think it sounds clean and reminiscent of a old school Flowmaster muscle car sound

I think Mac Headers went out of business, I can't find any listings or a website for them.
Matt Hill said he might stop carrying the kooks. He hasn't been happy with the time it takes to get them.

That sucks man
I need to get the wires loomed and I’ll be happy.

Hey what fasteners did you use for the upper intake? Those stainless? Thanks

They are ARP 454-2001. The kit has 12 in it. So I have 8 extras hiding in a box somewhere in my garage. However I had a hard time getting my intake on and I wished I woulda took my buddy Jim’s advice and put on carb studs. So I have a ARP 400-2412 I’m gonna try. The center bolts are the ones BBK supplied in their spacer kit I bought which is BBK 1506. My valve cover bolts are ARP 400-7506.
Awesome thanks

Can you tell a difference with the spacer?

I threw too many parts and wrenches at the truck to tell. I doubt much if any. What it allowed me to do is block off lower EGR port and it supposedly keeps heat transfer down between the upper and lower manifold. I don’t know about that considering I have a non-intercooled supercharger feeding the intake anyway.
I have a spacer from my red truck I'm thinking about using. I'm kind of headed in a similar direction so I'm following along.
From past experience, I recommend one stud in one of the front holes. Trying to get the intake over 4 studs without scratching the mating surface is a pain. But that one stud makes a huge difference in getting the intake and gasket aligned. I pull the stud out after I get the other bolts started.
It's not something most people do very often, though, so in the end, it's not a big deal.
Personally, the only thing I think spacers are good for are taller valve covers or other valvetrain access without having to remove the upper. I think they were useful for carbs when there was fuel in the carb itself, but I don't think they're worth anything on port injection power-wise. After driving a basically stock truck again for about a thousand miles, I can say I think the last thing it needs is more torque and less revs. Plus you've added one more mating surface that just makes for one more place for a misalignment to cause turbulence.
Unless it's this spacer:

Taller valve covers were my original reasoning but I'm rethinking those too.

I have a 1/2" phenolic spacer on the 95 for heat and for a little clearance for valve covers. I put it on the same time as the 1.7 roller rockers so I don't know if it made any difference. I picked up 1 - 1.5 tenths at the track but I think the rockers made the difference
