LT1/4 intake remove, drain coolant?
I just read in my Haynes manual, getting ready to do the intake gaskets on my lt4.
Is states that i need to drain the coolant, is that really necessary?
I can see it needed on the L98, but is there any coolant in the intake on a LT4
It also states that i should apply permatex on the coolant holes in the gasket facing the heads..?

You can remove the intake without draining the coolant, it is a dry intake. Just don't disconnect the coolant hose through the throttle body.
Also, don't use sealant on the intake gaskets.
