To use that intake you should block the pan breather and us an 8BA pipe under the intake. The easier thing to do is put a 7/16 plug in the hole where the fuel pump push rod goes and just make a plate to cover where the fuel pump stand bolted and use an electric fuel pump. Remember where going to have a test after you get that engine in the truck. I hope you get it in before the balls of hey get wet in the field. LOL Walt

My appologies Walt. I posted a minute or two after you did and didn't see your post until Martin said something. Thank you for the clear explanation.
I'll tell ya, what I'll be looking forward to after this one is working on a flathead that isn't jumbled up with various years of parts. Though, I'm learning quite a bit more because of it I guess. Looking forward to the test Walt.
