The intake was a last minute thing as I was on my way to pick up my engine from Dave and I came across a factory manifold for cheap so he ported one he had a day before I showed up and we swapped cores. He didn't mention anything but it was a rushed thing. Either way no big deal except it took me awhile to stumble across it.

I took a 5/16" bolt and cut it off to about 1/2" put some sealant on it and will call it a permanent fix. Car drove good before but much better now its only got maybe a couple hundred miles on it and still working out some bugs overall and making the winter to do list, Like the kinked heater core hose.
