So in other words, even if a retard like me had a die grinder, motivation, and a bunch of time on my hands, I would likely do more harm than good. Go ahead, say it - I can take it. Rolls right off...

Yep, now it's time to get busy with the die grinder to do some port matching. Anybody heard of using ATF as a cutting oil to keep the aluminum shavings from clogging up the cutter?

I have the Air Gap oval as well. In fact, I'll be having a manifold close-out sale as soon as this engine is done. Got the damned things stacked up like firewood.

Waiting for my pushrods - other epic thread. ;) Now where's that piece of paper with the lengths written on it?

That's exactly where the torque peak was for a set of AFR 265's with a single plane in this CC article - although they ran a more aggressive cam on a 454, so not exactly apples=apples.
