I have to agree with the other guys, NO KEG!!! I know it's easy for us to spend your money for you, but I know that if I had spent the money, time, and effort to build this engine, I DEFINITELY wouldn't cheap out on the intake! I'm sure you're tired of the "leaking wallet" right now, but if you put that thing in your truck, and the first time you take it out to enjoy the fruits of your labor, and it is less than spectacular, you're gonna be disappointed!!! It won't feel as if it was worth all the effort. ALSO, it will be so much easier to install the proper intake while the engine is on a nice convenient stand right in front of you, than to have to tear back into the engine after it's back in the truck! You'll be regretting that decision when that time comes. You've done an awesome job with this engine build so far, we would all hate to see you cut corners at this point, when you're so close to perfection...

Yea climbing up on the radiator support trying to scrape gasket material and catch it isn't fun.

I wil give you guys my pay pal stuff any you can all pich in! No its either do it this way for a while or not drive my truck for a couple of months. And I have crawled on to so many vehicles to do this kind of work it wont be a big deal. Besides it gives me something to look forward to. (I drilled my heads for LA style intakes!!!!!)

Painting the motor right now will post some pics soon.

I will be asking some questions soon on sct stuff first like install and a couple of others so be ready.

ha ha thanks man!

Yeah like I said its a money thing right now. Just like the stainless exhaust. I should not even have built this truck untill I had a couple of things taken care of financially. So I am going to be taking care of thoes things before I drop any more money into the truck. (I have been working sidejobs like crazy to get caught up.-damn dave ramsey!)
