If the block is still in the car when you're putting the head on, I would put the intake mani on the head before putting the head on the block. The bottom bolts/nuts are almost impossible to get to once it's in the car.

What they said, when we took the head off my car, it would have been pretty tough to get the IM off without the head off the car, so I'm sure it would go the same way while putting it back together.
