In all seriousness, I am itching to get going on this. It's hard when you've got the parts and tools in hand - have all this excellent advice and have to wait for the schedule to be open enough to actually get to work.

Maybe I'll take a bunch of pictures and do a write-up with all the tips, tricks and advice in this thread.

That would be great. I will have to tackle this after I figure out my radiator and cooling problems.

I have heard of the '97 and up intake manifold swap to replace the more square intake of the earlier years. With all the mixed info on doing this, what is everyone's consensus on this?
