Reply to "#5177 has left the Barn"

jfb05177Member

I had a discussion with shop building 5177 last week. (I've lost interest

and relying his abilities.) Progress is VERRY slow

The engine builder that abandoned the project a couple years ago had found

"the" ford aluminum intake, in his opinion, better than BT. He was onboard

about making carb base level and re doing studs.

Coming to now. The engine is supposed to be complete EXCEPT, builder

didn't do any thing to intake. During last week discussion with car shop,

he stated he want to "get measurements with engine in" (makes no sense to

me)

So, to my questions and request for info.

Wouldn't the machine shop instructions be mill carb base parallel with head flanges (then Heli coil studs to be square to machined carb base.

Is there anything I am missing? Would anyone know of a pantera shop/dealer

my builder could talk to confirm the intake NEEDS to have the carb base level. AND can be done without taking measurements in the car.

Or some good replies I could forward him
