water neck???

I have ran into a few problems putting my 400 back together. I am using a 351C intake with spacers and since the intake sits up about 1" or so higher it makes it almost totally impossable to reach the back bolt on the waterneck. Are there any tricks or tips to getting this on??

Thanks

Jeremy

Here's what I did to fix this problem.

First off you have to grind a little on the intake where the bolt goes into the water neck, then you have to get a allen head bolt for that hole, that's it your done ..

Remove just enough material to get the bolt pass the intake seeing it's a allen head bolt you won't have to make room to spin a wench in there .

Thanks. I removed some meat off the intake and the waterneck fit just right. That aluminum cuts like butter.
