Depends on the 6.5
Lookin great bro! Keep it up!
Perhaps you should put a 'T' in between the Flt mgr and the IP with a length of hose coming out and blocked off so when you choose to add a fuel pressure gauge no intake needs to be fussed with.

mattbratt, all you need to do is drill a small hole in the rear main on the metal part, then drill a little bigger, then thread a screw in there and tug on it. The rear main pulls right out like nothing! Sorry matt B i dont think im gonna die, starting to feel a little better today...

I can't wait for video of the beast's new engine up and running.
I, like Matt, would love to be there to smell the paint baking in and listen to the ol girl rattle away.

Including manifold bolts SS?

Stainless steel bolts rock. I use them for everything I can. Yes, they will work fine for exhaust manifolds, just don't use a cheap grade.

the biggest problem with ss bolts is that to get a truly stainless/rustless bolt you end up with a softer bolt. The harder ones my provide enough corrosion resistance to do the job though.

What T F, over
Neverseize
My experience with stainless is mixed. Definitely not a 'hard' bolt by any stretch, (no pun) but for manifolds they'd be good. I have good luck with nickel-based Neverseize for the high temp areas and especially SS on SS. SS WILL gall, seize and break off if one doesn't take precautions.
