milling intake manifolds

[Adger Smith]

Tom,
Thanks for the pictures.
I can see why you want to get it right the first time.
Some nice work there... Don't need to scrap it all.!!
I hope you understand my input/suggestion on the transition.

Nope you lost me there, Adger

Some time this week end I'll try to do a little art work to help explain it.

That would be great.
I appreciate the input.

On the 383 boat motor I'm doing right now we milled .030 off the heads and it took .040 off the intake to get the intake right so the 1.2 number must be fairly close on a small block.

Also the way madbill described is how I figured it out. I shimmed it out with feeler gauges until it lined up and figured out the difference from the intake gasket.
