400/450 stroker....Cheap parts, lotta work.
Hmmmm. Looks like it could be a long day. Even though the bolt holes in the intake manifold line up perfectly with the threads in the heads, the manifold angles don't match the heads well. Tight here and gaps there...........
Right rear........
Left rear........
Left front........
Right front..............
Some of the problem is lower inside corners of the intake are hitting the block wall. This is partly because I didn't mill the front and rear block walls .017" for every .010" I had milled off the deck and the combustion chambers. That now will have to be fixed with a file on those corners of the intake manifold. After doing that I'll recheck the mating angles.
