Insanity Intake Progress

Had a very productive weekend on the intake. Welded the trumpets to the runners.


Then mocked everything back up again on a spare engine and tacked the runners to the plenum.


Then it moved to Jason's fixture to finish the welding.


So the welding is about 50% complete.  Next is the throttle adapter, the injector bungs and finally the end caps on the plenum.  Here is how it looks mocked-up on the car.


I also welded up the water manifold, however this will need some additional work due to some welding distortion.


Finally, on Sunday night I tacked up the rear steering arms.  So I am down to only the left front suspension to fabricate and then I can start the final TIG welding on the suspension arms.
