[New fish]

Does anyone have a jig to borrow out with a deposit to drill out magnum heads for a LA intake I’m putting a 6pack intake on a 408 magnum

You can read the whole thing or I can just tell you some *** hole kept it. It’s gone.

Well that sucks

There is a bunch of pictures and info in the thread though. Maybe you can build a jig.

There was a drilling jig but some asswipe here took it and didn't share it with the next guy. What a POS.

So, I’m sorry for not being able to provide a jig, but magnum swap website says Hughes will accept your intake and drill it at a reasonable price. What that actually entails, I don’t have the foggiest

There is No Way in the world I would drill the flange on a Six Pack intake to fit magnum heads !
Drill the head !
There are millions of magnum heads around
Only so many Six Packs

Are you stuck with the magnum heads?

Lots of options use the LA pattern. If you're not in a rush, you can get the speedmaster heads on black Friday or find some for sale.

That's what we had. A head drilling jig. I think @Stephen Hotz made it and started the whole sharing idea if I remember right. Stephen's a great guy, but some jerk messed it up for everybody.

Thanks for the replies my time is very limited and was trying to save some by borrowing a jig if I end up making one I’ll keep everyone in the loop but would like to still borrow one

Honestly, if you're just doing a one off, find an LA head and take careful measurements. A jig isn't really needed unless you're doing a bunch.

A better idea is just don’t use the 6 pack intake. They’re junk.
Let the comments roll!!

A good machine shop with a Bridgeport could do the job.

so thats the duchebage that stole the jig?

Absolutely, but some Dychem, a sharp awl for marking, a small center drill and a steady hand could also do it. Point is, it's not that difficult.

 

[Cuda416]

Out of curiosity, what's the blot to surface angle on the LA head? I suspect it's not 90 so maybe it's a bit harder to do by hand than I am making it out to be.

 

[RustyRatRod]

I think his story was that he loaned it out to a non member and they kept it. Or lost it. Or sold it for crack. Or whatever. But it was his responsibility. But yeah, he's the douchebag.

Your suspicion is correct

it is not. i don't recall what it is right off, but i know it's not 90.

a search of the forum show that to be the person responsible.

Just set the intake on there and use a 3/8n chuck drill and drill away ....just kidding ( but you know someone tried it LOL!)
