I removed the intake manifold and cross over. Even with them removed it took several combinations of tools to get all of them out.

While I am in there I cleaned all the gunk out of the intake manifold and crossover tube and out of the ports in the head leading to the intake valves.

Tomorrow I'll be installing the injector line heaters. I'm going to run the lines back to the fuse box, but not finish installing them right now. I don't have time. You can't do the heaters with the manifold on so I am doing that part right now. I also removed my ALDA.

Hopefully the rod ends that I ordered from Phil are the metal ones.
