They aren't too long if you go with the upgraded Plenum pan which is thicker than stock.

You'll probably also want to get some gasket maker/RTV. If you got the kit off of ebay from 1999blkdakrt it says it comes with bolts.
Don't you have o take the throttle body off?..

you don't HAVE to.. just treat it with some respect when you flip the manifold upside down to work on the pan..

brittle body... I like that.. that sounds about right!! :-)

yup.. and get the felpro set.. it is often cheaper, and comes with a new TB, WP, Timing, Intake, and Plenum gasket set as opposed to just the plenum/intake gaskets..

I HIGHLY rec you do the timing chain too.. get a stout double roller.. that, all by itself, will awaken your ride..
