Update
Rich drilled the mount holes for the intake setup and did a slick job, as usual, mating the ports to the intake.
We set the adapter plate on the head and clamped it down. Then drilled and tapped one hole at each end of the plate so we could screw it on and drill the rest. As I said before we had drilled the plate with a #7 drill so we could us it as a guide of sorts for drilling the head.
Here are some pics
First two holes drilled and tapped
Mounting plate to drill the rest of the holes
Here is a close up of Rich's port matching. He set the plate up and milled the outside of each port at a 17deg angle so the intake transitions to the ports on the head
More detail of the plate, now fully bolted on. The fitting is the coolant inlet for the head
Lastly, a little teaser of the intake bolted on. You can see the red tape? That is a head bolt location. The intake will be cut in half to work and the section in the middle will be left long so we can have and extra mounting bolt off the head stud for strength.
Few more, money shots.....so to speak
Here is another part Rich got done. He wanted to make sure you all know that the little spacer in the center is made from material left over from when he made the headers for his V8 Packard project
That is all for now! Enjoy!
