Assembling The Intake Manifolds

Step 1

Step 2

Fix the parts together with six (6) AP screws:

Step 3a

Affix the Right Air Intake to this assembly with two (2) AP screws. The groove and curved section on this piece indicate the correct part:

Step 3b

Turn the assembly around and affix the Left Air Intake with two (2) more AP screws:

Fitting The Manifolds

Step 1

Insert this assembly into the Engine Top, aligning all of the holes.
