Hi Ed;
    Looks good. Will you be able to fit a stock turbo and manifold around that intake without the spacers? I suppose a stock turbo may not be best for plugs up as you will still have to use a scavenge pump to return oil. Or does your custom oil sump extend low enough to allow a modified gravity drain?
    As I'm using a turbo, I'm relying on brute force to overcome any defficiencies in my intake design (which is very lightweight;-)), but like you I accept that it may not be the last one that I build but it will get me flying. So I am interested if I can fit that intake flange in beside my turbo, as it will be a good start to build another intake if required.

Another objective was to clean up the exhaust side of the
block for later putting a turbocharger there.  As the second photo shows,
plenty of room for the turbo now, note how snuggly Paul's casting bolts up..
