Here's the deal. I'm replacing my rear motor mount and bracket, but for that damn bracket to come out of there I gotta take off the intermediate shaft or the intake manifold. Taking off the intermediate shaft is no big deal, but I've been replacing axles so much lately I don't wanna loose another 2 quarts of BG Synchroshift. Also I'd have to pop the lower BJ on the LCA to get the int. shaft out and my BJs are getting all torn up.
So I think I'm gonna leave the int. shaft there and take off the intake manifold. I'm pretty good with the cars but I've never taken off an IM. How long is it gonna take? How many hours to take the IM off? Do you think I can take it off, debur/port match it and put it back on in a day?
Thanks

 

Well, I got the bracket out without having to remove anything else, but I think I might still do the intake manifold for ***** and giggles.

 

It takes quite a while to remove it because there is so much crap connected to it. If you have time, go for it.

 

Get a case of beer, a box of no doze and an extra set of hands and do it

 

Thanks guys. It's 99 degrees and humid in the shade today. I think I'll wait a couple months

 

its pretty easy,the way i do it is i take a picture of all the hoses so i dont have to route things back to see where they go i just look at the pictures... some of the bolts are hard to get to though
