Thanks for the advice....I'm getting ready to pull mine again. I will not do the t-56 conversion until I can get the back of the intake to quit leaking. It will leak on to the clutch and ruin it. Honestly I'm going to try making a gasket for the front and rear of the manifold with rubber trans pan gasket material. I don't know if this has been tried, but I'm open to any suggestions?

I think that you should paint it all orange, hot pink, or yellow....
That way nothing would look like what you got!
Just kidding sir. Paint it what YOU like, screw what everyone else has or likes.
They don't have to look at it everytime you crack the hood.

Soo how would I go about that? I know dynamat has an pad you put on the bottom of the hood that helps.. Also I have a harwood 2in cowl hood. Im going to drill 2 or 3 3in holes then make something to block the holes while its raining to keep water off the motor

Let your RTV, or whatever you use cure-out for more than 24 hours before you start the engine. I've always done that and never had any leak problems.
Many people make the mistake of starting the engine before it has time to cure properly. Also, if you're using RTV, the "Ultra" is the best.

Anyone have the part number for trickflow guideplates for an LT1?? I'm getting those and new pushrods so I don't have to worry about it.
Edit: Nevermind, a good search does the trick
