I was wondering what bolt or stud do you use when you remove the IAB plate for the butterflies, since its shorter?

 

Measure the thickness of the plate, then buy bolts/studs that are that much shorter than the stock bolts/studs, then install them.

 

any numbers if you was to remove the butterfly plate>

15, 72, 23, 8, and 187.

lol, oh and to the op: when you bolt everythign up, check for clearance w/ the fuel feed line to the throttle body pulley (its really REALLY close, but doable). As far as post install, feels like it did before w/ the plates. No really noticable diff, if that helps any. later.

 

If you want OEM studs, don't know why, you can use the throttle body studs off an F series manifold. Three of them will fit, one is short. I had a couple intake manifolds laying around, and just tried it.

Also, watch the coolant hoses on the IACV; one will touch the intake manifold.
