Hello all, I have a problem.

I have this intake,

and carb on this intake (4776-5 // 2690).

and the POwners father said this motor came out of his sons running/driving Jeep (showed me pictures etc). Well I went to crank it today and wouldn't fire but that is besides the point.

I added the fluid to the radiator and the intake started leaking at the two bolts in the front AND I was seeing seepage along the valve cover (top).

So I guess I have to remove the intake and re-seal it, correct/of course?
What RTV should I use to re-seal it - Black/Blue?
When I pull the intake will it run down into the oil pan w/the new oil in it or will I be ok?

3b. It might be in the valley already, I just filled it and saw the leak, then pulled the rad hose off the intake so it would run where ever.

Please remember, I'm not a v8 guy and I ask some pretty simple questions for some, but for me .......

The intake is leaking at the two bolt front bolts just below where the finger is pointing,

and it is running along side both sides of the valve cover,

I am very tempted to put the stock intake back on, I just hop the motor is good, I'm going to do a compression test as well. I guess I should not have believed the guy but that's just my nature. I guess I should have done this before.

Old intake and carb,

I don't have money so my options are limited unless MC has a motor sitting around 🙂 , I'll send you this one.
I do have a 258, but it needs rebuilding and it is Peaches original motor going back in her Jeep. I would love to keep the v8 since everything was done already.

Just upset a little, I'm not going to tare into it either until I can find a gasket set.

Thanks for you help,
Jim
