Default Intake manifold support bracket

Just bought the Edelbrock performer x - and am wondering if the support bracket (block to IM) fits because it doesn't look like it does - anyone have this problem?

It might make a neat coat hanger or something?

My bracket doesn't attach to my blox intake manifold either. But I left mine on because
it helps support the oil chamber breather on the back of the block, the oil breather has a bolt on the bottom and the top one attaches to the IM bracket. . So I suggest you leave it on. Becasue it does serve another purpose besides supporting the IM.

Well - the machine shop still has my block and head so i guess when i get it back I'll see how necessary it is. . . I'd hate to toss it and find out it served a good purpose. . . but if it's just "there," I always enjoy losing a few pounds. . . .

Take 'er out. No need. Unless you want to do cool JDM poses and stand on your intake manifold

You might not *need* it but it would probably be a good idea to have something supporting that weight. I would think that the studs holding on the intake manifold would be enough, but why would Honda put it there if it's not necessary?

but it doesn't bolt up? so how much support would it really give?
