Greetings
all,
Attached are a few pics of
where I stand on intake #3. I'm quite happy with the fit,
and hope I don't screw it all up with the TIG welder. The inside
is actually a better shape than what you see on the outside, and while it's not
perfect, I'm quite happy with it. On a scale of 1-10, where 10 is a
perfectly smooth shape, the inside is probably an 8 now, where it was maybe a 3
before. In the pic, you can see the injector holes that I bored in
the bosses on the secondary runner.
Amazingly, the stock
primary fuel rail even fits under the intake! The old steel rails that I
had fit, but have one of the hoses in the way. The aluminum rail that Kelly
sent (thanks again), has banjo fittings that can be rotated. I didn't have
it at the hanger with me today, but I'm sure it will fit as is. This is
really an unexpected bonus.
I'm still hopeful of a
ground run next weekend, and flight the weekend after.
Cheers,
Rusty (don't make me deploy
the secret weapon, though I confirmed that it will fit
<g>)
