dave,don't know if this is the right place to post, but if you're having a bunch done up, put me on the manifold list....no rush as you know, but I'll pick up whenever they're ready (also, let me know when you have an intercooler for mock up )
i'm kinda curious what's up with making manifolds, they already are available for the gassers, and, they will obviously work on our cars...
Your machinest must have a 5 axis mill. The transition from round to oval will be tricky to machine without one. I suppose it could be picked out with a ball mill on 3 axis equipment but it would cost alot, machine time = money. I'd be tempted to squish the tubes a bit to get the transition, the result would be smoother and the machining WAY easier. Better clearance from the intake as well.
i like twisting my own its better than the commercial stuff man
You're fortunate to find a shop with that sort of equipment willing to do small jobs. The staggering payments on a half million dollar lease usually make the owners whores to the aerospace or mold industries... I love old circa 1975 CNC's, no payments. Allows me to take the occasional Sunday off...
I think Im going to piss myself if I dont see one soon....That and Ive been drinking ALOT of water. Thanks for keeping us all up to date."Will this be the next "Have To HAVE" Mod on the list?"It is for me anyway.
Get Eazy E to row himself to shore, and get the manifolds done. Ah the bennifits of riding bike with a guy who decides to become a cnc operator...
