RARE INTAKE MANIFOLD

Not really...? Let me restate my observation and see if that is what yours is: When you (zero) deck a block you true up the deck height to the crank centerline, maintaining the 90 degrees to it, making it completely 90 to the crank CL ...and then you do the other side. You dont take more out the 'bottom' than the top, 'shrinking the angle surface'..that would cause the head bolts not to align! When both sides are square, they are 90 to each other too, pull .125 off each cylinder bank and your still 90 to each other, and the intake angle is still xx degrees...what it was! No need to correct it, you just fly cut it across to make it more narrow, but still xx degrees. Only now its closer but it still is parallel to the original xx angle. Its simply a matter of using a thicker intake gasket or a spacer if its beyond what a gasket could fill. @SGBARRACUDA were your Stage VI spacers milled at an angle or were they just flat stock? Maybe its just how I read that, maybe were on the same page?

Probably did not explain it right for you to understand. Does not work that way as intake side of the head is not 90ยบ to the head deck side You are cutting away at a V Shrinking the SAME angle down and as you get lower the intake also needs to be narrower like the cut one here that honestly would be a nightmare in MY opinion to match but could be done.. Don't know how to explain it better it may only make sense to what's goin on to me but I am sure there are others who build motors every day that can easily explain. I only put 5-6 together over the years..
