Intake manifolds modification

The aluminum block on the left needs to be attached to the intake on the right

This beautiful piece took 18 hours of computer modeling and a bunch more time on a CNC mill

This is how it will be mounted with the carb

JRS manufacturing http://www.jrstephenson.com/ did a great job welding billet aluminum to cast aluminum. It's very difficult to join these two materials together without cracking the cast aluminum but somehow they did it.

I used a die grinder to clean off the seam left over from the casting process

And I tapped and plugged the air injection ports

The centre still needed to be opened up

Which I did with a hole saw and die grinder

After a coat of paint, they look pretty good

I was much relieved to find that the hood will close without being modified
