Hello everybody!

Finally managed some progress this week. I spent the weekend at the Detroit Maker Faire so today I almost finished the intake manifold. I drilled all the holes for mounting and fuel and water passages.Bolted it on the block to be sure it fits. The only thing left is to drill the distributor hole and finish threading a few holes and it should be a keeper.

Coming together Steve, i hope your getting that nice feeling of satisfaction.

i hope your getting that nice feeling of satisfaction.

I'm about a year away from that feeling.

The valve corvers took forever but all went well. I put a piece of sawed off stock in the mill and drilled the mounting holes and did all the machine work for the bottom side. All was done CNC. All 6 of them.





The block was rotated around holes were drilled to create the counter bore for the screw heads.




The top of the valve cover was brought to size




Then the edges of the counterbore were rounded off with a itty bitty endmill.




Last the corner rounding endmill was used to finish off the top and create the top protrusion.





While I was waiting on the mill I was busy tapping everything that needed to be tapped.

Hello all!

Managed some garage time today. Worked on the bell housing.

I still need to drill the hole pattern to mount the piece but that should be a quick deal!

Love it Steve!

Every piece you add brings the coolness factor up a notch by a MAJOR percentage - 

Thanks,
Dave

Good one!!

One with a carb, one with a blower and 2 carbs.

I'll take the one with the 2 carbs and blower.....make sure it works before sending it to me....

You must  admit that with CNC making another becomes a lot less time consuming. You may want to consider selling the gcode to make one.
Keep posting pic's as i can only write and can't read....
