Just curious what the manifold will be going on?  The dragster?  I have worked, modified, tweaked, built, ported, even made acrylic spacers, and I am trying to figure out exactly what your intensions are at this point.  Not criticizing, just trying to imagine your intended final product.  If you are making a single 4V, or something else, why not use one of Mummert's gaskets to get your dimensions for your manifold bases?  They are unidirectional, and a bit larger than the Fel Pro or Best gaskets.  Watching with interest.  Joe-JDC

Hi Joe, this is going on my dragster engine, it will mount a Hilborn 4 port 3" short injector, this is Lexan (polycarbonate), I've worked on this for a long time

So when is the dyno date Cliff?   It looks like your down to the last steps.

Going to run it in the car first, working on the intake runners today, I'm afraid to put it on a dyno and have it top out at 300 HP.

This the plug for forming the intake port (not done) this was formed using 3 pieces of wood (mahogany) and about 3 hours of work, it is accurate within .005 on all sides

Here's what happens if you don't balance your engine (funny)

Transmission shields in place, these things are hard to fit.

Your doing some quality work there Cliff.  I've watched your build from the start and I believe it will be a master piece.

Thanks Charley, one of the bolts that hold the shield to the rear of the transmission stripped when I tightened it (3/8 allen), I'm going to helicoil it in the car with out pulling the transmission apart (I hope)

What am I doing? well the intake manifold is not cooperating, having a hard time forming the Lexan into the shapes I want.
