Question for you guys with Indy heads....

metallidart said

I have the Indy 245 CNC heads with the rectangle ports. What I'd like to know, before I drop the money on the intake (which I'd like to do asap), is if I can take a standard oval port W2 intake and gasket match/open up the ports to match the rectangle ports on the Indy heads? I'm not afraid to do some grinding, but I'm a little afraid there may not be enough metal to do so. Its a Strip Dominator intake. I know the Indy intake is probably a better performer, but its really tall and I don't want it poking through my hood. Any suggestions? Hurry! lol

Nope not enough material. You can weld up the outside of the intake runners and the remachine the flange and then you can port to the opening.
Or we can sell you one port matched and take as much as 1.250 off the carb flange. Just have to drill the holes deeper and tap them deeper.
It would be about 650.00 to do everything, or 500.00 for the manifold plus chopping the carb pad down.

Another thing....if you use that holley intake, you'll lose any taper in the intake, and can possibly even make a reverse taper intake runner because I don't think there's enough room in the plenum to enlarge the runner entrance to keep up with the port csa at the flange when port matched to the indy rect. port.
