B Upper to C lower Adapter Finally

Should be an easy fix. Just straighten up the upper before the holes are drilled on the adapter for the upper intake.
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.
The C upper is straight, when I made the prototype for the adapter I found the gasket centerlines and started with those points when mapping it out...the B upper was aligned correctly.
It's a simple fix.
Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing people do stuff like this to push the hobby along. It is definitely cool and totally wild to see a C-head car look like a B-head car, but I can’t help but find this to be a ton of work to avoid switching an EGR tube and a throttle cable / bracket. And I have significant curiosities about how this doesn’t create a lot of turbulence and influence power.
I don’t know… just to me, when people are making 900-1000 at the tires on a “normal” C-head intake I don’t see much of the point of this aside from cosmetics.

Delete the EGR.
This is purely a cosmetic mod but it also does away with the need tp purchase a C head upper, TB, and throttle and crusie cables. As for turbulence, there will be none and the B upper will add some plenum volume and some believe that will add power (not me).

thanks for clarifying on the turbulence Todd. I've been wondering that since the adapter plate was made.
If anything the B upper will increase flow as it will provide more clearance around the feed hole entrances. The adapter may encroach on one or two of the feed holes but not enough to hurt flow.
The velocity of the air passing thru the 6 feed holes is much less than when it travels thru the throttle body;the slower the velocit the lower the turbulence.
I prefer the look of the B intake lid over the C intake lid. The C lid looks like a comb over on an engine, not to mention the cobra is side ways. I am definitely interested in this. Purely for cosmetics, as i have a 2001 cobra engine.

Any more orders for this week?
How many people have paid or put deposits? Im curious to how many people are going to do this. Mine would be a winter project.
You are the 5th so far that have placed deposits.
How much are adapters?
$175.00
Do you have any with the correction for the crookedness?
not yet. The first one cut was mine... the second batch is being cut with the correction
anxious to see dyno #s or track times, hopefully before summer is over.
I just rode my bike 4 hours to grab an iTSX tuner off na svt, they are writing me a tune so I can start my car (PATS) and then I can dyno it.:banana:
blank post to get out of 666 posts lol
I live 5 hours away from shelby. Hopefully Todd lives closer. Might be cheaper to go drop off the heads and intake than to ship them lol
