GT-40 intake installation

sgwinn · 10-06-2006, 11:38 AM

I'm going to order a GT-40 intake soon. Any tips on what else to order/replace besides say, valve cover gaskets, that would be good to replace once installation begins? Also, any pitfalls to be aware of? Never done this before, so any advice would be appreciated. thanks.

Replace the intake gaskets and the thermostat. Change the fuel pressure regulator and clean all the injector connectors.

The installation is easy money.

Clean them with aerosol brake cleaner. Don't get it on painted surfaces. It has worked well for me the few times I've done it.
