Thread: M1 intake install

  1. #1

    Default M1 intake install

    I'm installing a M1 intake and using a little bit of anti-seize on the bolts. Is there any problem with that?

    Tho i do believe the intake bolts are TTY so they are one time use.

    I'd use em again if the torque spec is only 12 ft.lbs such as the Air Gap.

    That looks like some serious airflow. My pictures turn sideways too.

    408, had a MP 4bbl. Did not like the drivability or having to drill out and clock the TPS sensor. The Accel seem to work much better, but need to have some adjustments to the tune. Seems to be fine on AF driving and under acceleration. It is a bit lean at idle.

    I've been cleaning off RTV from the heads all day, who ever put the intake on last used toooooo much RTV. I have Eddy heads and an M1 intake (stock block), I'm using Eddy 7277 intake gaskets, do I really need to use RTV around all the intake ports?

    Sure there is better advice from more seasoned builders, but think you just need in the corners.

    Do not use it around the intake ports.

    No. As @evilrt said, corners of the end rails and the heads. Some use it for the end rails, I don't think it's wise.

    Got it, thanks. As far as the end rails (china wall?). I was going to use the intake gasket and end rail gaskets, set the intake down and it if looked like it was going to tighten down and seal tight (no gaps), I was just going to use some RTV where the intake meets the cylinder heads at the both ends. If it didn't look like it was going to "squeeze tight" I will use RTV. FWIW, the stock intake had the end rail gaskets and didn't leak.

    I ordered HiPoTec billet fuel rails, but until they come in, I painted the stock fuel rails and water neck. Ready to install.

    M1 intake install complete, just need to add antifreeze. The antifreeze that came out was a reddish-orange color, I found orange Prestone the next town over and it's $23 a gallon (50/50). Can I flush the system, and convert it over to the lime green "any vehicle, any color" anti-freeze?

    Looking good

    After a good flush you can pretty much use any antifreeze. I like the newer yellow "universal" coolant when doing an older vehicle.

    That's what I meant when I said "lime green", I guess it's really "universal" yellow stuff. It says it mixes with any color anti-freeze, but I would flush it first, just to be safe.

    Curious as to why you think "no" on water jackets.
    If the heads have been milled down and the intake milled to match, the corking around water jackets is a plus in my mind.
