hi my name is Christophe. Ahead of time I want to say I've already done countless hours of searching I'm crapped out. My problem is after swaping the stock 5.0 intake manifold to the later model gt40 my car will not start, it gives a bloop sound initially but after that it's all starter (CAR WAS RUNNING STRONG BEFORE SWAP). Everything that was changed during swap: water pump, thermostat housing, distributor rotor only, distributor cap, spark plugs, wires, temp sensor & connector, fuel filter, that's all I can remember if I left anything out it was petty maintenance. Although my vacuum hoses appeared to be right I am definitely not sure because I got the diagram off line. To replace water pump the harmonic balancer pully had to come off when putting it back on the crank shaft turn slightly (2-3 inches rotation wise) I'm crapped out I can't think of why it won't start. It's not even turning over period at first crank it's a bloop but after it's all starter. (5 speed manual of it matters..)
