Tom, just curious if you know the overall height of the intake including the top?

I was just curious the height vs a Wenzler but looks like they are close.

i'm thinking probably standard/stock D-Port since he is trying to get factory part numbers into the casting for (potential) governed events use. |

Mike,I can get you a number from my car,where do you want me to measure from?I looks like it can be shortened close to 1/2 inch by milling some from the top.At least thats what Jim Robertson said.I know it fits under the hood of my 63 tempest with 1/2 in spacers and some spark arestors of sorts.I have not run air cleaners on the engine for 22 years.Tom

Tom, out of curiosity, how long did it take to print the top? I have no idea how long something like this takes.

Don't need it thanks.Worst I end up with a plastic intake and the original one converted by Jim Robertson.Will also have a couple scans including the Solidwork.When the plastic one gets done and it fits my engine then it will be pay up time for the 7 early ones.The Solidworks will have the flanges changed to make the late style.Getting a little closer.Tom

OK,another step finished.The Solidworks file is done and now going to the 3D printer.If perfect that and the file will go to the pattern maker after I get deposits from the buyers of the early version.Will keep everyone informed.Tom

I was watching a video the other day where someone was 3D printing engine parts directly into metal - they were making an exhaust header out of Inconel. No raw tubing required, they just formed the part with all its shapes and turns from a container of powdered metal. I'm sure the machine to do that sort of thing is crazy expensive, but it shows where the technology is going.

The machines are around but the cost to do metal is prohibitive.I have looked into it.Tom

I read the article in Smoke Signals about the early Bathtub intakes. Great article! Didn't even know about this thread until now. I might be interested in the early design. I need to decide on this week if I am in!. Will let you know Tom! Would be cool to own a bathtub intake! Awesome you are doing this venture!

Great news Tom.
Out of curiosity do you know if 2 Holleys with side hung floats will fit inline on one of these?

Tom, it looks like your getting this project done at an amazing pace. The Pontiac community is lucky to have you on our side. Can't wait to see the fully assembled 3D model.

Jim Robertson performed his magic doing the late style changes that had to be done to make it fit a set of 69 heads.Tom

I've owned a real bathtub and currently own a Dave Johnson repop and can say no way would two Holleys fit inline on either one. I would have to measure but the spacing between the carbs is basically the same as on the 542991/9770859 inline sd intakes.
