Yes!

I was really apprehensive about tapping new threads into the engine block for new manifold studs. The old bolts had stripped the threads in the block.

I found it to be easy (soft metal on the block) and VERY rewarding.

Careful to go in straight, and not "screw"-up, things went well.

Using a helicoil and JB weld, now I have a well-seated manifold via studs.
