how hard would it be to put in a new intake manifold on a 5.0 v8

 

not very hard, is it fuel injected or carberated

 

5.0 motors are very easy to work on are you doing the upper and lower?

 

its fuel injected and i honstly dont know. i took it to a shop and they said it was a bad intake manifold gasket so i probally will end up changin both but i have never worked on a car or truck before but i got a few buddies who have rebuilt a few motors one just rebuilt the top end of his 4.9 striaght six so im hopin its not over our heads.

 

so ur just replacing the gasket go pick up a chiltions book and youll be all set if u can follow directions

 

what do you mean [B][I]just[B][I] is there something else i should be doing

 

we dunno, you're the one doing the work

 

well you made it sound like i should be doing more

 

Are you planning on replacing the gaskets yourself or let someone else do the work? If you don't know if it has a carburetor or fuel injection, you might be better off letting someone more knowledgeable do the repairs.

 

Sounds like you might be better off letting your little sister do it for yuh

Have you ever changed oil before?

 

c'mon, leave the new guy alone! we all started somewhere, right?

 

Yea , alright then ~ Here's what you do and it's been said - Just head up town to your local auto supply and purchase a Haynes or Chilton's manual. Either one will map the procedure out for yuh

 

i siad it was fuel injected you ***. i said i didnt knwo if i was changin both intake gaskets or just the upper one.

 

A new guy calling a vet an *** is priming the blowtorch - not a recommended tactic if you want decent help.

 

Was that for me ? I hope so - It's been awhile
