Update: 3D Printed model done. Fit looks good. Going to check a few other items. Pop off plate fit, valve cover clearance. Will post more...
Since this intake is a new design I'm going to do the side pop off valve only. It makes for better air flow. Less machining and easier access.
I use SolidWorks 2015. Had to design the intake runners and subtract them from the intake in assembly mode. I'll use HSMWorks to do the toolpaths....

I have the intake 80% designed. Not thrilled with the pop off valve design. Do you guys have an issue with the pop off design being a 2 shoulder...

A fellow HAMR'r is sending me a Cragar intake. Will post pics of the design when done. Thanks for lookin
Got a blower now looking for an intake.[ATTACH]
OK here is the plan - borrowing a CRAGAR or Weiand intake is the first place to start. CMM reverse engineering and a SolidWorks CAD design will...
I'll do the deed ~ have full blown CNC machine shop and aluminum foundry. So all I need is the intake for reverse engineering? Have CMM to do the...
I have a true 1970 Chevelle SS LS5 and a 1938 Ford Tudor Standard street rod. The Chevelle was restored in 2009. The 38 is 95% mocked up and...
