- I am not saying my way is the best or the only way to install a intake on a Gen1 SBC. But… It is the way I have installed them with zero leaks.

Just a cleaning tip. 0000 steel wool and wd-40 works great for cleaning the fuel stains, coolant stains, rtv and oxidation off of the outside of an aluminum intake. Follow up with a wipe of brake clean and she will look brand new!
Great job, that's exactly how I've always installed intakes and never had one leak or any sealing problems, all about taking the time to do it right the first time!!
1207 would have worked fine. Gaps on the side are no issue. When you line up everything the floors need to line up on the ports as thats the most important for airflow. Tops of the ports arent near as important. You definitely want the bottoms to be a smooth transition on both parts ;)
I also use Right Stuff on the water ports. I also use 3M black weather strip adhesive on the intake ports. Reason beings is it is easy to suck the bottom of the intake gaskets on high rpm throttle closures. Like when you cross the finish line. China wall you can use regular silicon or right stuff.
I have 4 cut to length, all thread, I put them in the outer 4 holes, 2 front and 2 back to help line up the Intake as you seat it on m into place? unscrew those 4 and switch to the 4 bolts. I Always for 30+ years have used the cork, never had a issue, just glue it to the engine wait and hour, put some oil layer on the top of the cork , Install the intake! my freind chanced his tail only to fined out the back side of the intake sealer had blown out. the 3 big Car MFG paid a lot of money on Engineering, so nothing wrong with using Cork.
that intake looks sick ...
Super victor2 and afr 210's race ready PN 1054 with a 1206 gasket match up very very well straight out of the box. The slightest amount of cleaning up on the manifold and gasket has them almost perfect! . I spent about 2 hours on my manifold to clean up the ports about 2 inches in on each port and trimmed the gaskets on the top and bottom of the port on some and they were great. In my experience.....they would of been sweet to bolt on out of the box!!! I maybe cleaned up ".020 thou or 1/2 a millimetre on a few ports to get them to match. That's it!
Your videos and cars are great and you explain everything really well. Thanks man
new subscriber here. really like your video as i'm working on putting new heads and cam in my sbc400 and a new oil pan gasket. it's been awhile so i appreciate the knowledge you share in this refresher for me.
That's a sweet engine, your truck is going to fly😎
This is epic, you never disappoint , consume man drink in a lady cup
Come over and visit me again. That Lady cup will make you want to set ish on 🔥 😆
Thanks for this video, I am about ready to install my 2975 on a Gen 1 400 CI, very similar to you. This will be my second attempt, 1st attempt on engine stand with a cheap gasket leaked out the back of the intake. My engine is installed so a little harder to work on, but I ordered 1206 and will following your instructions. I hope I get a No Leak result.
1 month later, 1206 gasket installed using your method and NO LEAKS, Thanks for the Help :)
Putting tape on the edges of block and intake and intake help make cleaning up a breeze.
Pull away the tape and the sealer goes with it.
I use contact cement in a couple spots to hold my intake gaskets in place and "the right stuff" on the China wall.
hugga hugga lol lol have to remember that for my next video lol lol ..... nice job cant wait for this to be running ...
Curious why you wouldn't want to lash your valves before installing the intake? Subbed!!
Was curious as well, I like to use the pushrods to help set my lash but I also always use hydraulic roller cams so I'm guessing its different using a solid roller, which i have no experience with lol
I always use the "right stuff" on everything the best stuff on the market ...
Great video!!!!!!!!
What is the smallest hydraulic roller cam do you think i can get away with using this intake? I may reduce its size and head runners to match. TFS super 23* heads. How does it feel to own the best GEN 1 intake ever created?
No matter what I do my brand new dart block, brand new AFR 220 heads and brand new AFR intake will not seal. There is oil in my intake runners. Yes, I sealed the rocker stud bolts. Intake appears to fit well but just will not seal. Any ideas?
Isn’t it suppose to be like 25 foot pounds for those bolts ?? Correct me if I’m wrong
25-30 i believe. If your asking because he didn't do that in the video its because he was gonna come back later and do a final torque i believe he said
My intake seems to sit high on my engine because the gap between the block and the intake is big ! The ports match up ok but still ! And I had a few intakes on it they all did the same thing ! I would literally shut the lights off so it was pitch black and shine a light to see if I missed anything…I was thinking it was the heads
I think I am gonna roll with a set of brodix IK200 heads next unless I can get a decent deal on victor jr or Afr
But I totally agree on RTV around the water ports ! I have always done that myself without any issues 👍🏻
Back in the 80’s before printo gaskets I think I used mr Gasket and I used high/tack it held the gaskets beautifully it could get messy lol
So you just use a hobby knife to trime your gaskets as needed ?
I used my Dremel, I suck big time with a hobby knife.
I tighten my intake when it goes on and never had one leak.
HEY THERE !
Need your advice...
I have a 10.5:1 SBC 383.
I want a high rpm top end and solid cam combo on pump gas.
What would recommend ?
Thanks !
Had to take 60 thousandths off each side of my super vic 2...
I wish you had shown how you port your gaskets. I've got to do mine and I've never done it before
I am making a video on that tonight actually.
Does a 400 inch motor actually run alot better with an intake that big being na? Thankx.
Where do you get the intake water hoses from
i used 1266 because my heads were milled
e Hello. are you nice to tell me which camshaft you are using?
Custom grind by Fast Cat Cylinder heads on FB.
What do you think about polishing the runners on the manifold?
It's better to keep them a little rough.
@@TPVPRO as in factory casting rough or give it a little tweak? Thanks bro!
@@SST8 80 grit
@@TPVPRO yessir 👌 cheers for that and keep the great videos coming
Optimal running temp ??
160-195 is fine
Hey man What shocks do run on the back of your truck ?
Comp Engineering 3 way adjustable... I have never adjusted them. 🤣
Hey man I hope you don't mind me picking your brain on some s10 stuff!
That gap wouldn't hurt anything. Line the port floor up, Eric Weingartner has a video that proves that.
