what did you use to cut it with?
hacksaw. It can be done pretty nicely, it just takes a while. Took me an hour or so to get it open.

cool, i may do mine, it's actually not a bad idea, got a metal cut-off saw, porting tools, and a welding machine, may actually be a decent project for me

Big Papa, so what's the verdict?
Have you gotten it back on the car? Gains? Dyno sheets to back it up?

Well I just finiashed it tonight. I have to weld it back up sometime this week. My car is in one million pieces. But if Larry is interested we could base line his car and then swap the intake and see what happens. :rolling:01cobravortech said:
that looks very very professional! Very good job on the porting as well as the cutting on that. It is one of the nicest looking jobs I have seen!
I'm up for it (dyno)
Did you dremel it?
Did you dremel it?
no, the dremel would have died a fast dead with as much material as I removed.lemosley01 said:

Sweet. A dremel on 'roid, eh? Looks good.
Something I've been curious about. How come nobody extrude hones their intake? It would save on the cutting and welding.
Extrude hone is ~$500, or so I've heard. Greg has the cost of some hacksaw blades and the polishing stuff in his.
How much does getting it welded back together usually cost?
Ensure that you utilize a face mask IE: Breatherbigpapa said:no, the dremel would have died a fast dead with as much material as I removed.

Aluminum dust causes Alzheimer's.
Great intiative on taking on the intake, its coming along good but could utilize lots more work in the runners and the entrance. It's that epoxy I see there?
How about the head side and the injector bosses?
Good stuff, keep it up!

Didn't know that about the dust. Are you talking about la full mask, like what a car painter wears, or just the ones that snap over your face?
I used the cheapy face masks,Nazman said:
No expoy I just didn't have a long enough mandrel to work on that little bump transition area to the lower. The longest mandrel I had was 1.5" shank and 1.5" spindle. It would be nice if I could add a little material in a few places to make better transitions. Also Naz I was concerned about grinding through the 4 bosses where the fuel rails mount. How far can I take them down with out going through?
The head side has been extrude honed, I will see if I can get a pic of it. It's kind of hard to make out due to the oil that has attached it's self to the runners.
Welding will vary from 30 to 60 dollars.
Yeah,bigpapa said:
as a minimun that is the type of mask I would wear.
The injector bosses vary in thickness depending on the year intake. Some are thiner than others. If it was a 99 blue dot (extrude hone) there is still quite a bit of material. You could remove o/a 1/16 safetly.
