Does it idle poorly but run better at high RPMs? If so I'd suspect an air leak in the intake manifold gasket. Try spraying carb cleaner around the gasket while it's running and see if the RPM goes up. If so, you've found your leak and judging by its location, it could be a warped and/or impropery tourqued intake manifold, in which case you'll take it off (along with the exhaust manifold as they share a gasket. Don't break the studs!), replace the gasket and install the manifolds starting from the CENTER and alternating out toward the ends.

Update?

-Best,

Ben
