[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 106642, member: 3426"] The intake is pretty much complete. There is very little room, which translates into no room for error with regards to the length and angle of the manifold. There is probably a better way to do it, but... I fixed the carburetor in place with a jig , filled a ziplock bag with epoxy putty and wedged it between the intake port and carb flange to give an exact plug to use to determine the angle etc. [ATTACH type="full"]26831[/ATTACH] Took some 1.25 x .065 stainless, filled it with Cerrobend, used the press to bend it, and then cut out a piece that matched the angle of the epoxy plug. [ATTACH type="full"]26832[/ATTACH] Cut out a flange brazed it on. Finished manifold is shorter than one pictured. [ATTACH type="full"]26833[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]26834[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
