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

Yes you can R & R the intake manifold with the engine installed.I've done in many times. It will convince you to change out the cast iron manifold for an aluminum manifold if you haven't already.Those cast iron manifolds are heavy.

Don't see why not. The distributor will need to come out for forward movement. And depending on the valve cover overhang at least one cover (recommend the passenger side because of its more forward placement) might have to come off. A few of the rear bolts may be somewhat difficult being under the firewall. Apparently that guy at Rootes that swung that big ole sledge hammer at the firewall just didn't hit it hard enough. :-D (just kidding of course)

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!--
