Default Intake Machine Work

I had to start this project with building a fixture plate to hold the intake on the mill. Not to terribly hard but turned out great. From there the intake can be positioned so that it can then be indicated in to cut the right amount of the material off the intake front to back and from top to bottom of the runners to fit near perfectly on the engine.

Once the mating sides of the intake are cut it re aligns the bolt holes, but now you have the issue of little to now front and back wall clearance. Once again a fixture had to made to hold the intake flat to the table for the front and rear intake walls to be fixed and re machined to match the block.
