that's great your back up and making them. theres a few guys around here that might be interested in some when they see the one I get. I just might be the only one in atlantic Canada with one, for awhile anyways :)

I was at the foundry today, taking a gander at the first prototype high-riser casting.  Now that the standard intake adapters are running fairly smoothly in production, I can start thinking about doing the programs for this bad boy:





This casting has not yet been heat treated and is still covered with some casting sand; it will be a couple of weeks before I get my hands on it.  It is also a full 20 pounds heavier than the raw medium riser casting!

This one is going to be trickier to machine than the medium riser casting, just because of it's size.  Right now, when the 4th axis on my CNC machine spins the castings around and moves them into position for the various machining operations, the casting itself comes very close to hitting some of the tools in the toolholder.  The high riser casting would definitely hit some of them if run through the same operations, so I may have to split the machining into a few different operations, with limited tools in the toolholders.  I have to admit I'm kind of looking forward to that challenge.  Meantime, I have a couple of weeks to just continue running the medium riser adapters, and try to get some work done on my SOHC project...

How many adapters are you able to complete each week now with your machines running well now?  How long until you'll be able to look at the programming for the Yates manifolds?  Eagerly waiting at #31 :)  I have the Edelbrock 2863 manifold boxed up ready to ship your way whenever you'd like to see it.  Really excited to get the intake installed on the race car for the upcoming season.

Thanks for the update, keep the chips flying!

I'm running at about 4 per week at the moment, David.  I'm working on #10 now (or I should say the machine is working on it  ;D)  I'll probably have you send me your intake in a couple weeks - Jay

Your HR adapter looks great Jay! I have been very curious about the HR progress lately and was sure happy to see an update. I have been biting my tonque! Didn't want to ask, (bug you) about that...

That's my baby LOL... Thinking about doing rubbings of the flanges on my ported Dove HR heads and the injectors to send to you, to see how they match up

No hurry on that, because I won't be able to do much with them until I get some of the basic machining operations programmed.  But at some point down the road it would be good to them, to see how they match up with a raised medium riser port.

you should look into making a cheaper alternative set of crossbolted mains,, :)

They might match up pretty good, as these Dove HR's have been cut for race T&D's, which didn't leave much of the roof, and then the roof was filled slightly with Devcon

Do you think that a speedmaster intake#SKU-147.1082 will bolt to your adapter???if so I could use a bird catcher on it and run myfavorite fuel!!!!

I don't know, I've never seen that intake.  But if it fits a factory 351C 4V head, it should fit my intake adapter.  If it is for an aftermarket 351C head, it may still fit, but perhaps the adapter will need special modifications.  Do you know where I can get more info on that intake?

It says "3V Heads" in the ad.  Not sure what that means; the only 3V heads I know of are the ones from CHI, and they are different from a standard Cleveland port configuration...

 ;DJust received my adapters, and they look great!  Question.  Did you drill some for Windsor bolt patterns?  One of mine has two sets of bolt patterns.  If so, that means I can get physical with my flutes on a Victor!  Joe-JDC
