Yeah, that would be your best bet, to use a die grinder, or one of those sets from crappy tire. With the flexible extension on it. Good luck to you.

Well, thanks for the help everone. I think im going to attempt it myself,. I'm going to try a spot on my 86 intake and see how it looks, then go to the 89 if it works well.

If i decide to paint it instead, what paint would i use, does it have to be like a high heat manifold paint?
