Yes, this stuff is strong, when I heat it hot enough to make it pliable and try to shape it it cools fast and gets hard (about 5 seconds). I'm going to try to form it cold (?) I can bend it in a metal brake (cold) and it bends just like metal. 

Are you using heat to help preform the lexan?

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

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)

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

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

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

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

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.

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