I finished my heads / cam upgrade and installed my ported, polished and extrude-honed intake. You will want to extend the little vacuum tubing behind the intake by about 4-5 inches so you can attach them before you slide the intake all the way back. I would purchase a pre-molded 90 degree rubber fitting for the rear hose barbs to avoid folding the tubing up while installing the intake. Pre-install the fuel injectors, fule rails and brackets to give you something to hang onto while positioning. Lastly, the rest is a snap so enjoy the work.
