Ok here is a pic of what the lines will look like. I have to drill/tap some holes and do some final grinding/shaping.
B Upper to C lower Adapter Finally
- Thread starter USMC53CHIEF
- Start date
I'd be interested to see photos of how it fits the inside edge of both the upper and lower intakes.
once I'm done grinding ill post some pics. The water jet guy has my prototype. You cant fit the plate until its been ground because of the runners on the c lower
Wow looks good, im assuming hood clearance issues with a factory hood?
No it will fit. However, my heat blanket under the hood scratches my intake at a stock height. I want to take it off and paint underneath.... anyone done this or could tell me how/if heat would screw with hood paint? I just adjusted my hood bumpers height at the radiator support as well... haven't been able to tell if it would still scratch it.
A few more pics, I gotta go to work till 930 so I will finish it and install it once I'm off.
I do not have a heat liner under my hood and never had a problem.
Lookin good
Awesome!, Im going to be working on here for a little bit tonight and would like to install everything, but it took forever to paint that intake so i dont want it to get jacked up
Thanks man, I really appreciate you putting up with me annoying you all the time!:beer:
Ok Guys, It is officially installed on my car. One thing I have noticed....its crooked lol. The top plate is not off by much, a few degrees, but its not square. I will have the water left guy account for that. We lined up the gaskets, but one of the two must not be perfectly square. Its not off by enough for me to change mine.... but here are some pics. I am ready to accept the deposits for those of you that pm'd me. I will be contacting you through pm.
Nice to see it coming together.
love the stock look, and is going to run like a beast!
That adapter is badass
Looks good, but the crookedness would drive me up a wall. If the waterjet guy can make the adjustment to bring it straight that would be great. Other then that, it looks good.
Yea the crookedness gets me too... I'm putting the adjustments in, just don't fell like taking mine off again. So the rest will be straight.
Does this clear the stock hood?
The b upper intake looks slightly slanted with the adapter. Because that's how the c head intake is. I was looking at it earlier.
I have been away for awhile (motorcycle bug), but THIS is NICE to see FINALLY happening!!! And I happen to be looking at buying a car this would be perfect for!!

any plans to fix this so it looks straight on the engine?
