All my bracket have been coated wit h the truck bed liner stuff including the motor mount brackets .

what do you mean gasket matching?

sweet build keep us posted

Its one of the easiest little thing you can do your self to gain a little more air flow but be sure to leave the intake side rough (if it is smooth gas will stick to it causing problems )and smooth the shizz out of the exhaust side (helps keep carbon build up ) Now the gasket megan sent me is alot bigger than the megan manifold . so i matched it and marked the gasket with sharpie on the sides that were going to ber flush and marked it where i neede to take more off .Ive already removed upwards of 1/8th inch off each exhaust port in some ares and only minute porting on others .Its time consuming but i think it will be worth the time .After im done with the exhaust side and get it put back together im moving on to the intake .
And yes as i get more done ill keep the thread going .:beerchug:

are you just using a dremel?

Do you vacume all the dust/shavings from there?
