So I'm proceeding full steam ahead with the FE intake adapter project, and have a drawing completed that will go to a Solidworks file for the casting patterns in the next couple of weeks. All of the FE-related dimensions for this part are locked down, through various blueprints, measurements, and FE parts that I have machined and refined in the past. However, the dimensions related to the 351C intake manifold are problematic, because I don't have any blueprints for this part, and I'm having to rely on measurements for the exact location of the bolt holes, the bank to bank stagger for the engine, and the angle of some of the bolts.
Anyone know where I can get this information? Is a blueprint or drawing of the 351C intake manifold available anywhere? My only alternative is to go with the measured dimensions, build and machine the first intake adapter, fit the 351C manifold on it, and then correct any errors for the next manifold that is machined. I'd rather get it right the first time, of course.
Thanks in advance for any help on this - Jay

Thanks Bob, I'll watch for those responses - Jay
Edit - Also, per the first question under that thread, I need the 4V manifold bolt locations if they are different than the 2V, but I don't think they are. I have manifolds, so I don't need any of those. I need a blueprint or CAD file with the exact bolt hole locations on the intake. I tried to answer that question under that thread, but my Network54 log in doesn't work on that site. Go figure...
