I have one but I had to make a custom adaptor to be able to bolt it down to the intake. The Ports are spread wider vs a normal pattern
using two rear sections.

My daughter takes pictures much better than I do Charlie and has a better phone.
Maybe at some point when she is not working, which she did from home today,
she can snap a few pictures for me to post up.

Getting closer to getting this thing done. Its been challenging . Not as easy as it thought it would be because I really don't have all the right tools....

Ill be welding in the floors for the front runners next..

I finally welded on the front and welded up the crossover in the flange. Getting closer to being done. Its going to be a challenge grinding in the runners to clean up the weld that went through..

Nice work! Almost there. What I use to get to tight places is a 6" long mandrel. But you need to run it slow as it will wobble at high speed.

6" course carbides myself.... Bullet shaped being my favorite, but cone and 3/8" ball ends get their share of use.

I have two front halves of Torker 1's I'd like to try making an intake with.... Thanks for inspiring me.

( Have back halves too but I like the deeper plenum and runner shapes on the front.)

Yeah, it seems to be getting more challenging now though .. Still a lot of work left. After its all welded up I will be milling holes in each runner for the injector bungs. Then have to figure plugs for them so I can run it carbureted for getting it running N/A first.....

I like the egg , ball and cylindrical shapes. If could find one , ide like to get the finger shape one for straightening things out..

2 fronts would be interesting. The only thing about that is there so narrow. That's the reason im doing this. . I thought the port even though it was 5/8's taller then the back, was too narrow at 3/4" overall . But maybe I was over thinking it? IDK. Be cool to test and see how it does that way.... It just didn't seem like the difference in height would make up for it being so much narrower ...
