Status on my K5

Also I’d like to get a new black intake manifold. Is the EPS too tall?
If your motor is completely stock then it’s not needed but it won’t hurt either.
Now hear us out on this - if you’re gonna go this far - - - a mild cam and lifter set will make the new carb, intake and exhaust all worthwhile, just say’n.
You will already have the intake off; what’s a little extra work for realistic gains.
Plus it will help in the powerband department with your tire and gear combo!

And once again, a man with a 8.0 Liter V-10 block coffee table can’t be satisfied with a stock cam grind.
I’m not say’n put a big cam in there but just one that will let it run like it should instead of a huge compromise on emissions and economy OEM grind ( which did not do well in either department ).

Just do it….you know ya want to - but don’t let me persuade you in any way. Just Do it !

Haha, cams not worth it without heads. This will snowball. I just want a black colored intake manifold lol.

This saddens me deeply to hear this but we must respect the line in the sand that you have drawn.
You’re right about the snowball effect.

BTW, nice table !
