Default Intake and fuel pump mount help.

Hello All. I'm working a my LB rebuild and have questions, I have both a cast iron and aluminum intake. I understand the aluminum is the "right" one to use, but when I go to install the sleeve you slide in before the fuel pump mount stick out too far. Or is this only installed with the cast iron? I see its taller where the pump mount is installed Please guide.

There is a shorter sleeve and push rod for your aluminum intake.

We've got both sizes of the sleeves and the pushrods.

The "right" intake manifold, aluminum vs. cast iron, depends on which year and model vehicle that you are planning to install your LB engine into.
If you have not yet found a short baffle tube, I have some of these that I won't be needing. PM me if you should have an interest.
