LD340 install questions

[Mrbill426]

Did you use stock type and length bolts or opt for something different and still have a challenge?

I have not driven the car a whole lot since the install I had other things to take care of around the house but I like the improvement . Intake bolts were a little bit of a pain in the ass.

They are a pain. I found it easier to install by using 12-point 3/8" drive headed bolts.

What is the pain? Is it the travel? It's been so long I don't recall any issues. But perhaps I was so traumatized I blocked it out. LOL. I'll be bolting on my manifold in a couple weeks. I hate having it all ready to go but having other stuff preventing me from getting her put back together. Ugh

I purchased new intake bolts. Stainless with hex drive .

I may have missed it, but what carb did you go with on the LD340?  I was thinking of using my original TQ but the manifold is more of a square bore so rather then altering the manifold or using an adapter I was considering a Edelbrock.  Wondering about linkages with that though.  Bolt & go would be nice of course.
