ya it was a real major pain in the ***...the only thing which caused nothing to line up was the runners interfered wth my injectors, it took quite a few clearancing issues i had to grind runners and some other stuff but once you get those issues worked out its not bad just time consuming.

Sounds like you were trying to install the injectors and fuel rails AFTER the runners were ready bolted down. Supposed to do it the other way around.....
Along with the ratcheting wrench, I'll also use some bushings/spacers on the bolts so there won't be so much inside, causing more wrenching to snug them up. It might also be easier to get a wrench on them since they'll stick out a little more. Next month though.........
Here's what people don't know about their cars, the K-Member has a lot to do with how headers and the Super Ram fits. Some cars like mine, the K-member sits about 1/4 in to the left. In the Camaros you can tell 2 ways. 1st have you ever notice that the left front tire sits more inside the fender well than the right? If they are the same distance, you may have problems installing SR's and SLP Headers. 2nd have you ever notice that the throttle body to the snorkel are not straight in line? These are the main reason that some people have these problems.
If your motor mounts are sagging, this is one of your problems. If you install a poly transmission mount it will raise the trans about 1/4in an at the same time raise the back of the engine. This will give you the clearance you need

Perhaps I had posted this question on the wrong thread so here goes again, I have a 93 5.7 motor. I am going to replace the tbi with a accell super ram unit the system is not complet ( I only have the runners and the plenum) I would like to buy a complet tpi system, it is my understanding that the super ram runners will bolt to the stock tpi manifold, if this is true is there a certan year that I should look for to make this converson work? I will try to buy a tpi unit with injectors, fuel rails, distribtor, etc any information would be helpful.

The lower manifold is the same yes. You want one from a 87+ with the late style bolt angle. Edelbrock's tpi baseplate works well.
Thanks, Joe now I know what to look for, I am going to try to buy a complete factory tpi unit and use everything I can off of it for my super ram.
