Just some answers to some of the common questions: No stripped threads. I will be removing the studs before shipping as they are specific lengths for the PJIII system i had on it. No machining was done to the intake at all and the thermostat in it is fairly new and is a 180*. If you want the stock intake bolts with the indents in the head let me know and I'll add them in for an extra 10 bucks.
