Cross Ram intake install
Does anything have to be done with the bolts on the inside of the intake on installation?Tom

What engine?
If the bolt holes aren't blind, I'd expect pipe-thread sealer to prevent oil coming up the threads.

What Pontiac heads are we talking about?
In iron heads there are a few on each bank that are not blind, on Aluminum heads they are all blind.
On iron heads all the bolt holes but for those to the immediate left and right of the exh crossover are blind.

Here is a picture of my Crossram I snagged last year. I have the Eddy's on it now but it came with 600 Holley's.

I don't know how well that top-end works, but as historical artifacts and "bling", that's near-unbeatable. Hat's off to you.

Re: Cross Ram intake install
So your running the crossram set up on that 303 cid RA5 headed motor?
It's good that those cross ram intakes have such long runners!

383 CI,will break it in on the dyno with the single four.Will put the X ram on and make a couple pulls and see how it idles etc.Would love to drive it.Time will tell.Tom
Re: Cross Ram intake install
For the bolts on the inside, I'd put a little sealant on them regardless of blind holes or not.
Its not that my intake manifolds rattle loose, but with my luck, one would definitely find its way under the intake valve.
