I just started tonight. Here are some pictures of my intake manifold flange. It is very rough so I have not smoothed any cuts out yet.

you don't have to cut those holes on the bottom, right? Those are blind... just the intake holes and stud holes.

I'll be building such a flange soon... I've decided to go fiberglass

Hey Tbrown, I live in Terre Haute, IN. I think they are Matijnus. I haven't looked really close at the cylinder head surface. On the intake surface there is a small channel between the holes. I am not to worried about that. I will be using a Holley 4412 with external vacume ports. I would rather make the intake out of Alum. instead of Fiberglass. I think fiberglass won't hold up to the heat, unless you use cabinfiber. I am more worred about the ignition on my 1981. Will I need a electronic distributor?? Anyone know? Thanks Brad

coming along nicely man. +1 to those 4 holes across the bottom not needing to be drilled out. just cover them up.

hey man, i appologize for not getting back to you about the old manni i have. been crazy here, but you're better off making one from scratch than using that one. espicially using aluminum.

the small sand paper flapper wheels they have at lowes work great for smoothing intake runners. what are you using for a plenum and tb? I got a tank from a oxygen generator and used a mustang tb on the neon used 6061 aluminum pipe as the runners it work great!

Thanks the TB looks great!!! Yes as Zodiac says I am making my intake for a Holley 2bb carb. I am cutting out a plate for a Holley from a spacer so it won't be to high at all. Thanks Brad
