Hey Nathan????
got any hints for removing the intake on a 351w?? i got all the bolts off, its loosened, but i can't get it lifted off. feels like something is still holding at the back, driver side of the manifold... i've checked a few times now, there's no bolts there that i can see i missed...

Probably it`s just stuck down real tight on the gaskets, you can try gently prying on it in afew places to see if it`ll budge or there`s any movement at all. Sometimes it takes alot of force to break it loose. 
Just be double sure you have ''ALL'' the bolts out. There`s been afew times I thought all the bolts were out only to find a hidden one or two.....

i'll do some more searching tomorrow... it puzzles me to no end. another thing is 2 lines, metal-like fuel lines, comming from the intake and were connected to the choke side of the old carb... are they exhaust temp lines to do with the choke system??
nice try Ryan...
for now the 351 will suffice. i'd love a 300 build, but i'll take what i can get for now...

These lines supply hot exhaust air to kick the choke off.

What kind of intake did you get for your truck? We did the same mod on a 1985 351w HO and put it in our 79 F100, as well as a holley 600, headers, stacks, and msd ignition. We bought a Weiand Stealth intake.

thats good... mine needed a tune up anyway, so i should really notice a difference!!
say, i got the intake off, turns out i did miss a bolt, had mistaken it for a filler stud...
oh well, here it is...
