Default questions about M50 mani swap

im in the market now to pick up a M50 intake mani. what all am i going to have to replace when doing the swap? im sure a intake mani and throttle body gasket. are there any other gaskets i should replace? also heard its a good mod to add the throttle body spacer too.

any help guys who have done this swap? thanks

yeah, they are $440 fr everything. im hoping to get a mani cheaper off someone online and then ordering the kit for them.

how much would your shop charge to install it? would you need the kit or you able to install it without? i can supply the mani

Unless you went out and sourced the parts (kit yourself) then I would need the kit, I dont have the time to go running around to find the little connectors and such that is needed.

Install would be about 2 1/2 labor.
