Just get the huges intake manifold or find a mopar m1. This works but its better to get some more hp and tq while everything is off

terrible video you move the camera around too fast. i'm not sure you even worked on it. no proof of it.

If anyone planning to perform this plenum plate swap , you may want to also change rotor and cap, oil sending unit, all in back of the intake, as well as checking water pump and timing chain, which I did. My timing chain was clapped out, water pump looked brand new. Cut my own plate, ordered new intake bolts which youll probably need to do because the front and rear two bolts are through the heads and snap off. Timing chain Comp cams double roller, new plugs, wire, coil, and valve cover gaskets. Oil pan gasket. Maybe pull the heads and change springs and valve seals. But not necessary if you don't burn oil... Stock plenum cover is some kind of stainlees steel that warps no matter how you install it. Mine couldn't lay flat on a level surface. Every 2nd gen has them should have been a recall on this. Use loctite on old bolts or new ones if you dont torque them down correctly youll need to do this again Aluminum plate or not soon.

You did that all ass backwards you should of cleaned everything up top off before unscrewing anything. It's called break clean.. clean all that oil and dirt off or your just going to have a harder time cleaning it once you have a open top end... I can't stand when people don't clean shit before ripping heads manifolds ect off

is the 318 a tuff motor i heard the heads crack i herd so many different things about the 318 i was all ways told is is a strong motor is this true or false

have my hughes engine kit by my side, doing mine this up coming weekend. how does your truck perform now?

don't waste your money on this. install Hughes gairgap manifold and big gulp throttle body and see more power and mpg.

what did you torque the bolts to on the plenum

What were the symptoms did you have to know to replace the plenum gasket? Any trouble codes? Any engine issues?

Great vid! I was wondering, what were the bolt sizes you used to replace the ones that snapped off?

Liked the video. Haven't needed to do mine yet. Did you do the electric fan yet??? Would like more info on that job. Thanx

dood you might want to go to a doctor and have him check out your breathing, you sound like a pug was recording the video

I went ahead and git the FI intake manifold and the stage 2 throttle body when I did mine. Figure I might as well get some extra power out of it lol

my gasket looked good from the outside too. Did yours run any better after the fix?

awesome vid

Hey, I just did this, it runs much better but still smokes, how long did you guys have to wait for all the oil to be burnt out, and quit smoking?

Im looking at doing this soon. do you have any pointers for me? mistakes not to make? lol

No problem, You'll be glad you did since you didn't clog up your cat, cause misfires on cylinders 6&8 and blow a headgasket. =) (guess who did that lol)

thank you for stopping by.have fun with it,i did.

yeah i almost just let it go,as the only real symptom it had was the pinging under hard accelaration,and using about a half quart oil every couple weeks.I am glad I did it though,she runs alot better more power and best of all no damn pinging! LOL Doing three additional projects on it this week should have vids up by weekend.Thanks for stopping by.

Your video got my Misophonia kicking in... Glad to see you went ahead with the repair. I wish I had, there's a lot more to fix for me since I chose to let it ride... Gambled and lost.

Yeah I know what you mean ,after doing this repair the truck runs alot better and best of all,no more pinging.I am getting ready to do a few more mods/repairs soon and will be pposting them as well.

I had one of my bolts snap on me for my plenum, With and new plenum gasket and plate from Hughes, My 5.2 runs so much better!
