[Tigers] Is it possible to change the intake manifold with the engine in the Tiger?

                Yes!

I made a plywood pull handle plate that bolts to the carb location and lifted the intake manifold out.

 

This was the stock 2bbl intake – I did not remove the distributor or any valve covers.

 

Make some guide pins, as Eric mentioned, so you can easily drop the intake straight down and located then bolt it down.

Subject says it all really - will I be able to change the intake manifold on my 289 with the engine still in the Tiger.

 

It currently has a 70s fuel crisis era Offenhauser Dual Port 360 which I want to swap out for a Edelbrock.

 

Any & all advice welcome - cheers in advance!
