before you go just switching intakes , get it up to temperature and spray some carb cleaner along the rails( where intake mates to the heads)and see if the idle stumbles and increases . to replace the intake- three-five hour job . buy a chiltons book . three points. get a decent torque wrench and do a 2 step torque in the right sequence. make sure the intake side rails have the block out plate at the passenger side rear . lastly use a heavy bead of black rtv at the ends instead of the paPER gaskets . and hey, do a real good oil drain and fill after cause when you first lift the intake water will mix with the oil .
