Default Budget Direct Port Pics

Take it easy on me. I did everything myself from tapping, to bending, and flaring. I have never done anything like this before so it was kind of different. Trying to figure out the bending tool was the toughest part.....Any way here is the pics.

The hardest part about that is keeping the drill bit from moving around

Will do it will probably be around a month as I am taking out the motor to get new cam bearings but into it. But I will post finshed ones as soon as possible.

I love the way direct port looks, kind of like a sci-fi monster for the 1/4.

I would test fit that intake with the valve covers on a set of heads. It looks good, but it looks like the lines might swing out a little bit wide and interfere with the valve covers.

You may also need to fab up some custom way to mount the throttle cable(s). The front lines look to be in the general vacinity of where the cables go.

These were a couple issues I ran into or almost had.

Looks good though!
